Background selection as null hypothesis in population genomics: insights and challenges from Drosophila studies
The consequences of selection at linked sites are multiple and widespread across the genomes of most species. Here, I first review the main concepts behind models of selection and linkage in recombining genomes, present the difficulty in parametrizing these models simply as a reduction in effective population size (Ne) and discuss the predicted impact of recombination rates on levels of diversi...
متن کاملA test of the background selection hypothesis based on nucleotide data from Drosophila ananassae.
We estimated DNA sequence variation within and between four populations of Drosophila ananassae at Om(1D) and vermilion (v) by using single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct DNA sequencing. Om(1D) is located on the X chromosome in a region with a normal recombination rate; v is in a region of low recombination. In each population, levels of nucleotide diversity at v are reduc...
متن کاملThe biology of kinetoplastid parasites: insights and challenges from genomics and post-genomics.
Kinetoplastid parasites exhibit a rich and diverse biology which mirrors many of the most interesting topics of current interest and study in the broader biological sciences. These evolutionarily ancient organisms possess intriguing mechanisms for control of gene expression, and exhibit complex patterns of cell morphogenesis orchestrated by an internal cytoskeleton. Their cell shapes change dur...
متن کاملBackground selection and population differentiation.
A general analytical formula is derived, which predicts the effects of background selection on population differentiation at a neutral locus as a result of its linkage with selected loci of deleterious mutations. The theory is based on the assumptions of random mating, multiplicative fitness, and weak selection in hermaphrodite plants in the island model of population structure. The analytical ...
متن کاملPopulation genomics of transposable elements in Drosophila.
Studies of the population dynamics of transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster indicate that consistent forces are affecting TEs independently of their modes of transposition and regulation. New sequencing technologies enable biologists to sample genomes at an unprecedented scale in order to quantify genome-wide polymorphism for annotated and novel TE insertions. In this review, w...
