Sex and deleterious mutations.

Genetics - 1 May 2008

Gordo Isabel, Campos Paulo R A

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction has been considered as one of the most pressing questions in evolutionary biology. While a pluralistic view of the evolution of sex and recombination has been suggested by some, here we take a simpler view and try to quantify the conditions under which sex can evolve given a set of minimal assumptions. Since real populations are finite and also subject to...
