Natural selection reduces linked neutral divergence between distantly related species

2015-11-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Much work has been devoted to understanding the evolutionary processes shaping genetic variation across genomes. Studies have found neutral polymorphism is reduced close to genes and in regions of low recombination, suggesting the effects of natural selection. However, the effect of selection on neutral sequence divergence between species remains ambiguous. While studies have reported correlatio...
