Moderate nucleotide diversity in the Atlantic herring is associated with a low mutation rate

2017-05-31

Abstract excerpt

The Atlantic herring ( Clupea harengus ) is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth but its nucleotide diversity is moderate (π=0.3%), only three-fold higher than in human. The expected nucleotide diversity for selectively neutral alleles is a function of population size and the mutation rate, and it is strongly affected by demographic history. Here, we present a pedigree-based estimation of the mutation ra...
