Inbreeding changes the shape of the genetic covariance matrix in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2001

Phillips P C, Whitlock M C, Fowler K

Abstract excerpt

The pattern of genetic covariation among traits (the G matrix) plays a central role in determining the pattern of evolutionary change from both natural selection and random genetic drift. Here we measure the effect of genetic drift on the shape of the G matrix using a large data set on the inheritance of wing characteristics in Drosophila melanogaster. Fifty-two inbred lines with a total of 4680 parent-offspring...
