Abstract excerpt
The genomes of all organisms are subject to continuous bombardment of deleterious genomic mutations (DGM). Our ability to accurately estimate various parameters of DGM has profound significance in population and evolutionary genetics. The Deng-Lynch method can estimate the parameters of DGM in natural selfing and outcrossing populations. This method assumes constant fitness effects of DGM and hence is biased...
