The strength of selection against the yeast prion [PSI+].

Genetics - 1 Mar 2009

Masel Joanna, Griswold Cortland K

Abstract excerpt

The [PSI(+)] prion causes widespread readthrough translation and is rare in natural populations of Saccharomyces, despite the fact that sex is expected to cause it to spread. Using the recently estimated rate of Saccharomyces outcrossing, we calculate the strength of selection necessary to mainta...
