Natural selection does not affect the estimates of effective population size based on linkage disequilibrium

2021-08-16

Abstract excerpt

The effective population size ( N e ) is a key parameter to quantify the magnitude of genetic drift and inbreeding, with important implications in human evolution. The increasing availability of high-density genetic markers allows the estimation of historical changes in N e across time using measures of genome diversity or linkage disequilibrium between markers. Selection is expected to reduce diversity and N...
