Purging of highly deleterious mutations through severe bottlenecks in Alpine ibex

2019-04-16

Abstract excerpt

Human activity caused dramatic population declines in many wild species. The resulting bottlenecks have a profound impact on the genetic makeup of a species with unknown consequences for health. A key genetic factor for species survival is the evolution of deleterious mutation load, but how bottleneck strength and mutation load interact lacks empirical evidence. Here, we take advantage of the exceptionally well-ch...
