The landscape of nucleotide diversity in Drosophila melanogaster is shaped by mutation rate variation by Barroso, Gustavo V, Dutheil, Julien Y

“…Attempts to answer this question have sparked debate about the roles of neutral stochastic processes and natural selection in molecular evolution. However, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation, and integrative models that simultaneously consider the influence of multiple factors on diversity are lacking; without them, confounding factors lurk in the estimates. …”
