Rates of deleterious mutation and the evolution of sex in Caenorhabditis.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2003

Cutter A D, Payseur B A

Abstract excerpt

A variety of models propose that the accumulation of deleterious mutations plays an important role in the evolution of breeding systems. These models make predictions regarding the relative rates of protein evolution and deleterious mutation in taxa with contrasting modes of reproduction. Here we...
