The balance between pleiotropic mutation and selection, when alleles have discrete effects.

Abstract excerpt

The theory of pleiotropic mutation and selection is investigated and developed for a large population of asexual organisms. Members of the population are subject to stabilising selection on Omega phenotypic characters, which each independently affect fitness. Pleiotropy is incorporated into the model by allowing each mutation to simultaneously affect all characters. To expose differences with continuous-allele...
