Genetic load in sexual and asexual diploids: segregation, dominance and genetic drift.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2007

Haag Christoph R, Roze Denis

Abstract excerpt

In diploid organisms, sexual reproduction rearranges allelic combinations between loci (recombination) as well as within loci (segregation). Several studies have analyzed the effect of segregation on the genetic load due to recurrent deleterious mutations, but considered infinite populations, thus neglecting the effects of genetic drift. Here, we use single-locus models to explore the combined effects of...
