Neutral and selective forces act on genetic variation within and between populations, and these processes leave signatures on the genomic regions they act on. Balancing selection is defined as an evolutionary process that raises genetic variability relative to what would be expected under genetic drift. It is usually assumed that balancing selection reduces population differentiation, but…
Balancing selection is an important evolutionary process contributing to the maintenance of genetic diversity in populations. Several non mutually exclusive mechanisms may underlie balancing selection, including heterozygote advantage, frequency dependent selection and fluctuating selection. All of these mechanisms have been invoked to explain the high diversity of Human Leucocyte Antigen…
