Sex differences in deleterious genetic variants in a haplodiploid social insect

2021-08-27

Abstract excerpt

Deleterious variants are selected against but can linger in populations at low frequencies for long periods of time, decreasing fitness and contributing to disease burden in humans and other species. Deleterious variants occur at low frequency but distinguishing deleterious variants from low frequency neutral variation is challenging based on population genetics data. As a result, we have little sense of the numbe...
