On the evolutionary advantage of fitness-associated recombination.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2003

Hadany Lilach, Beker Tuvik

Abstract excerpt

The adaptive value of recombination remains something of a puzzle. One of the basic problems is that recombination not only creates new and advantageous genetic combinations, but also breaks down existing good ones. A negative correlation between the fitness of an individual and its recombination rate would result in prolonged integrity of fitter genetic combinations while enabling less fit ones to produce new...
