How are deleterious mutations purged? Drift versus nonrandom mating.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2003

Glémin Sylvain

Abstract excerpt

Accumulation of deleterious mutations has important consequences for the evolution of mating systems and the persistence of small populations. It is well established that consanguineous mating can purge a part of the mutation load and that lethal mutations can also be purged in small populations. However, the efficiency of purging in natural populations, due to either consanguineous mating or to reduced...
