Realistic rates of homologous recombination do not eliminate background selection. Using fast approximate simulations of background selection with recombination and up to 109 individuals, the graph shows how the average frequency of deleterious alleles (y axis) varies with the rate of recombination (x axis). Note the log scales on the axes. The dotted line shows the expected frequency (μ/s) for an infinite population.
