Background selection does not mimic the patterns of genetic diversity produced by selective sweeps

2019-12-15

Abstract excerpt

1 It is increasingly evident that natural selection plays a prominent role in shaping patterns of diversity across the genome. The most commonly studied modes of natural selection are positive selection and negative selection, which refer to directional selection for and against derived mutations, respectively. Positive selection can result in hitchhiking events, in which a beneficial allele rapidly replaces all o...
