Purifying selection on deleterious variants affected by the combination of subgenomes and gene expression in bread wheat
Halstead-Nussloch et al. quantify genome-wide purifying selection on deleterious variants
using high-quality annotation of 10 genomes of bread wheat. Strong purifying selection
is observed in the cate...
