Meiosis and the evolution of recombination at low mutation rates.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2000

Gessler D D, Xu S

Abstract excerpt

The classical understanding of recombination is that in large asexual populations with multiplicative fitness, linkage disequilibrium is negligible, and thus there is no selective agent driving an allele for recombination. This has led researchers to recognize the importance of synergistic epistatic selection in generating negative linkage disequilibrium that thereby renders an advantage to recombination. Yet...
