Long-term natural selection affects patterns of neutral divergence on the X chromosome more than the autosomes

2015-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection reduces neutral population genetic diversity near coding regions of the genome because recombination has not had time to unlink selected alleles from nearby neutral regions. For ten sub-species of great apes, including human, we show that long-term selection affects estimates of divergence on the X differently from the autosomes. Divergence increases with increasing distance from genes on both th...
