The impact of genetic modifiers on variation in germline mutation rates within and among human populations

W. R. Milligan, G. Amster, G. Sella

This paper investigates how genetic modifiers influence variation in germline mutation rates within and among human populations using analytical models and simulations.

Broad-scale variation in human genetic diversity levels is predicted by purifying selection on coding and non-coding elements

D. Murphy, E. Elyashiv, G. Amster, G. Sella

The paper models purifying selection and selective sweeps in human genetic diversity using 1000 Genomes data, finding background selection explains most diversity variance.

Life history effects on neutral polymorphism levels of autosomes and sex chromosomes

G. Amster, G. Sella

The paper derives general expressions for life history effects on X-to-autosome diversity ratios, showing they depend on sex-ratio parameters like mutation rates and generation times.

Changes in life history and population size can explain relative neutral diversity levels on X and autosomes in extant human populations

G. Amster, D. A. Murphy, W. M. Milligan, G. Sella

The paper explains differences in X and autosome neutral diversity ratios in humans by considering life history traits and population size changes.
