Sex and U.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Feb 2001

Kondrashov A S

Abstract excerpt

Resolution of several unsettled problems in genetics depends on the genomic rate of deleterious mutation, U. Selection against mutations can be a major factor in evolution only if U > or =1. Recently, significant progress has been made in measuring U in multicellular eukaryotes. An indirect estimate, based on a human-chimpanzee pseudogene comparison, produced U>3 for hominoids. By contrast, an estimate for...
