Sexual recombination and the power of natural selection.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 19 Oct 2001

Rice W R, Chippindale A K

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that recombination will increase the effectiveness of natural selection. A Drosophila melanogaster model system was developed that increased experimental power with the use of high experimental replication, explicit tracking of individual genes, and high but natural levels of background selection. Each of 34 independent experiments traced the fate of a newly arisen mutation located within...
