Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: Mapping spontaneous mutations affecting sensory bristle number.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2005

Mackay Trudy F C, Lyman Richard F, Lawrence Faye

Abstract excerpt

Our ability to predict long-term responses to artificial and natural selection, and understand the mechanisms by which naturally occurring variation for quantitative traits is maintained, depends on detailed knowledge of the properties of spontaneous polygenic mutations, including the quantitative trait loci (QTL) at which mutations occur, mutation rates, and mutational effects. These parameters can be estimated...
