Genomic consequences of transitions from cross- to self-fertilization on the efficacy of selection in three independently derived selfing plants
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transitions from cross- to self-fertilization are associated with increased genetic drift rendering weakly selected mutations effectively neutral. The effect of drift is predicted to reduce selective constraints on amino acid sequenc...
