    Gaut: do any of these mutations actually impact fitness? You can actually do stuff to purge bad mutants from crops and improve them!

    Bank: simulations. Lots of beneficial mutations can help rescue pop, but lots of variance due to clonal interference

    Background selection can dramatically distort diversity, make things look like pop expansions or pos selection.

    Ivana Cvijovic (Harvard) background selection role in genetic diversity. We know what it is but struggle to predict it.
