Competition at the mouse t complex: rare alleles are inherently favored.
Theoretical population biology - 1 Dec 2001

Abstract excerpt
We investigate the competition between alleles at a segregation distorter locus. The focus is on the invasion prospects of rare mutant distorter alleles in a population in which a wildtype and a resident distorter allele are present. The parameters are chosen to reflect the situation at the t complex of the house mouse, one of the best-studied examples of segregation distortion. By analyzing the invasion chances...
