Long-term molecular evolutionary rate determines intraspecific genetic diversity

2019-11-18

Abstract excerpt

What determines genetic diversity and how it connects to the various biological traits is unknown. In this work, we offer answers to these questions. By comparing genetic variation of 14,671 mammalian gene trees with thousands of individual genomes of human, chimpanzee, gorilla, mouse and dog/wolf, we found that intraspecific genetic diversity is determined by long-term molecular evolutionary rates, rather than d...
