The speed of evolution and maintenance of variation in asexual populations.

Current biology : CB - 6 Mar 2007

Desai Michael M, Fisher Daniel S, Murray Andrew W

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The rate at which beneficial mutations accumulate determines how fast asexual populations evolve, but this is only partially understood. Some recent clonal-interference models suggest that evolution in large asexual populations is limited because smaller beneficial mutations are outcompeted by larger beneficial mutations that occur in different lineages within the same population. This analysis...
