Causal inference clarifies the roles of background selection and mutation rate variation in shaping human genetic diversity
2026-06-03
Abstract excerpt
Decades of theoretical and empirical work have struggled to reconcile competing views on how evolution shapes patterns of genetic variation. We now understand the genome as a mosaic molded by both neutral and selective forces, but quantifying their relative contributions remains an open challenge. A major obstacle has been the tendency to analyze each evolutionary process in isolation. But different processes may...
