The distribution of beneficial and fixed mutation fitness effects close to an optimum.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2008

Martin Guillaume, Lenormand Thomas

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of the selection coefficients of beneficial mutations is pivotal to the study of the adaptive process, both at the organismal level (theories of adaptation) and at the gene level (molecular evolution). A now famous result of extreme value theory states that this distribution is a...
