The maintenance of single-locus polymorphism. IV. Models with mutation from existing alleles.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1992

Spencer H G, Marks R W

Abstract excerpt

The ability of viability selection to maintain allelic polymorphism is investigated using a constructionist approach. In extensions to the models we have previously proposed, a population is bombarded with a series of mutations whose fitnesses in conjunction with other alleles are functions of th...
