Genomic Background Selection

Genomic Background Selection is a population genomic process that describes the reduction in genetic diversity at a locus due to the continuous removal of deleterious alleles in linked regions, thereby distinguishing it from genetic drift and positive selection by emphasizing the impact of purifying selection on neutral variation across the genome.
