Drift increases the advantage of sex in RNA bacteriophage Phi6.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2004

Poon Art, Chao Lin

Abstract excerpt

The pervasiveness of sex and recombination remains one of the most enigmatic problems in evolutionary biology. According to many theoretical models, recombination can increase the rate of adaptation by restoring genetic variation. However, the potential for genetic drift to generate conditions that produce this outcome has yet to be studied experimentally. We have designed and performed an experiment that reveals...
