Population genetic processes affecting the mode of selective sweeps and effective population size in influenza virus H3N2.
Kangchon KimYuseob KimPublished in: BMC evolutionary biology (2016)
Background selection and metapopulation dynamics have greater variation reducing power than recurrent positive selection under realistic parameters in H3N2. Therefore, these evolutionary processes are likely to play crucial roles in reducing the effective population size of H3N2 viruses and thus explaining the characteristic shape of H3N2 genealogy.
