Background selection and the statistics of population differentiation: consequences for detecting local adaptation
2018-05-24
Abstract excerpt
Background selection is a process whereby recurrent deleterious mutations cause a decrease in the effective population size and genetic diversity at linked loci. Several authors have suggested that variation in the intensity of background selection could cause variation in F ST across the genome, which could confound signals of local adaptation in genome scans. We performed realistic simulations of DNA sequences,...
