The Hill-Robertson effect and the evolution of recombination.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2006

Roze Denis, Barton Nick H

Abstract excerpt

In finite populations, genetic drift generates interference between selected loci, causing advantageous alleles to be found more often on different chromosomes than on the same chromosome, which reduces the rate of adaptation. This "Hill-Robertson effect" generates indirect selection to increase recombination rates. We present a new method to quantify the strength of this selection. Our model represents a new...
