Genetic variation of polygenic characters and the evolution of genetic degeneracy.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2003

Frank S A

Abstract excerpt

The classical model of mutation-selection balance for quantitative characters sums the effects of individual sites to determine overall character value. I develop an alternative version of this classical model in which character value depends on the averaging of the effects of the individual site...
