Abstract excerpt
Transition matrices for selfing and full-sib mating were derived to investigate the effect of selection against deleterious mutations on the process of inbreeding at a linked neutral locus. Selection was allowed to act within lines only (selection type I) or equally within and between lines (type II). For selfing lines under selection type I, inbreeding is always retarded, the retardation being determined by the...
