“PURIFYING selection acts to remove deleterious mutations, and variation linked to these mutations, as they continually arise in a population. This leads to reduced genetic diversity at both selected sites and linked neutral sites. This effect, known as background selection, can significantly affect the patterns of diversity evident in sequence data.”
