Population size may shape the accumulation of functional mutations following domestication
Abstract Background Population genetics theory predicts an important role of differences in the effective population size (N e ) among species on shaping the accumulation of functional mutations by regulating the selection efficiency. However, this correlation has never been tested in domesticated a...
