Environment dependence of mutational parameters for viability in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2002

Fry James D, Heinsohn Stefanie L

Abstract excerpt

The genomic rate of mildly deleterious mutations (U) figures prominently in much evolutionary and ecological theory. In Drosophila melanogaster, estimates of U have varied widely, from <0.1 to nearly 1 per zygote. The source of this variation is unknown, but could include differences in the conditions used for assaying fitness traits. We examined how assay conditions affect estimates of the rates and effects of...
