Muller's ratchet and the pattern of variation at a neutral locus.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2002

Gordo Isabel, Navarro Arcadio, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

The levels and patterns of variation at a neutral locus are analyzed in a haploid asexual population undergoing accumulation of deleterious mutations due to Muller's ratchet. We find that the movement of Muller's ratchet can be associated with a considerable reduction in genetic diversity below classical neutral expectation. The extent to which variability is reduced is a function of the deleterious mutation...
