Selection for recombination in structured populations.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2006

Martin Guillaume, Otto Sarah P, Lenormand Thomas

Abstract excerpt

In finite populations, linkage disequilibria generated by the interaction of drift and directional selection (Hill-Robertson effect) can select for sex and recombination, even in the absence of epistasis. Previous models of this process predict very little advantage to recombination in large panmictic populations. In this article we demonstrate that substantial levels of linkage disequilibria can accumulate by...
