Similar efficacies of selection shape mitochondrial and nuclear genes in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> and <i>Homo sapiens</i>
2014-10-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Deleterious mutations contribute to polymorphism even when selection effectively prevents their fixation. The efficacy of selection in removing deleterious mitochondrial mutations from populations depends on the effective population size ( N e ) of the mtDNA, and the degree to which a lack of recombination magnifies the effects of linked selection. Using complete mitochondrial genomes from Dro...
