Adaptation in sexuals vs. asexuals: clonal interference and the Fisher-Muller model.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2005

Kim Yuseob, Orr H Allen

Abstract excerpt

Fisher and Muller's theory that recombination speeds adaptation by eliminating competition among beneficial mutations has proved a popular explanation for the advantage of sex. Recent theoretical studies have attempted to quantify the speed of adaptation under the Fisher-Muller model, partly in an attempt to understand the role of "clonal interference" in microbial experimental evolution. We reexamine adaptation...
