Background selection and biased gene conversion affect more than 95% of the human genome and bias demographic inferences.

TL;DR: High-quality human genomic data is used to show that purifying selection at linked sites and GC-biased gene conversion together affect as much as 95% of the variants of the genome, and identifies a set of SNPs that are mostly unaffected by BGS or gBGC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombination, meiotic expression and human codon usage

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that SCU is not driven by constraints on tRNA abundance, but by large-scale variation in GC-content, caused by meiotic recombination, via the non-adaptive process of GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Transition from Background Selection to Associative Overdominance Promotes Diversity in Regions of Low Recombination.

TL;DR: A model describing how and under which conditions multi-locus dynamics can amplify the effects of associative overdominance (AOD) is presented and demonstrates that AOD may play an important role in the evolution of low-recombination regions of many species.

Transition from background selection to associative overdominance promotes diversity in regions of low recombination

TL;DR: Simulations show that multi-locus AOD can increase diversity in low recombination regions much more strongly than previously appreciated and demonstrate that AOD may play an important role in the evolution of low recombinations regions of many species.
