Reduced effectiveness of selection caused by a lack of recombination.

Current biology : CB - 28 Apr 2009

Betancourt Andrea J, Welch John J, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

Genetic recombination associated with sexual reproduction is expected to have important consequences for the effectiveness of natural selection. These effects may be evident within genomes, in the form of contrasting patterns of molecular variation and evolution in regions with different levels of recombination. Previous work reveals patterns that are consistent with a benefit of recombination for adaptation at...
