The evolution of tandem repeat sequences under partial selfing and different modes of selection

Key Points

• Tandem repeat sequences evolve differently under partial selfing, leading to unique genetic variation patterns.
• The study reveals that both natural and sexual selection significantly affect allelic diversity in populations.
• Analysis of evolutionary dynamics uncovers how varying selection modes interact with genetic mechanisms, shaping population structure.
• Understanding these processes may enhance insights into genetic diversity and adaptation within species.
