Long-term balancing selection contributes to adaptation in Arabidopsis and its relatives

Abstract Background In contrast to positive selection, which reduces genetic variation by fixing beneficial alleles, balancing selection maintains genetic variation within a population or species and plays crucial roles in adaptation in diverse organisms. However, which genes, genome-wide, are under...
