Allelic gene conversion softens selective sweeps

2023-12-05

Abstract excerpt

The prominence of positive selection, in which beneficial mutations are favored by natural selection and rapidly increase in frequency, is a subject of intense debate. Positive selection can result in selective sweeps, in which the haplotype(s) bearing the adaptive allele “sweep” through the population, thereby removing much of the genetic diversity from the region surrounding the target of selection. Two models o...
