The relationship between the pleiotropic phenotypic effects of a mutation fixed by selection.

Abstract excerpt

A pleiotropic model of mutation is presented that allows for correlations between the effects of a new mutation and for the distribution of mutational effects to vary from being leptokurtic to normally distributed. Using this model I quantify how selection transforms the correlation between the effects of a new (random) mutation into the correlation between the effects of a mutation that is fixed by selection and...
