Recombination enhances protein adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Current biology : CB - 20 Sept 2005

Presgraves Daven C

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary theory predicts that the rate and level of adaptation will be enhanced in sexual relative to asexual genomes because sexual recombination facilitates the elimination of deleterious mutations and the fixation of beneficial ones by natural selection. To date, the most compelling eviden...
