Genomic Evidence for the Purging of Deleterious Genetic Variation in the Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
ABSTRACT The reduced genetic diversity and frequent inbreeding associated with small population size may underpin the accumulation and expression of deleterious mutations (mutation load) in some declining populations. However, demographic perturbations and inbreeding coupled with purifying selection...
