Relaxation of selection with equalization of parental contributions in conservation programs: an experimental test with Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2006

Rodríguez-Ramilo S T, Morán P, Caballero A

Abstract excerpt

Equalization of parental contributions is one of the most simple and widely recognized methods to maintain genetic diversity in conservation programs, as it halves the rate of increase in inbreeding and genetic drift. It has, however, the negative side effect of implying a reduced intensity of natural selection so that deleterious genes are less efficiently removed from the population with possible negative...
