Abstract excerpt
We study the process of fixation of beneficial mutations in an asexual population by means of a theoretical model. Particularly, we wish to investigate how the supply of deleterious and beneficial mutations influences the dynamics of the adaptive process of an evolving population. It is well known that the deleterious mutations drastically affect the fate of beneficial mutations. In addition, an increasing supply...
