Abstract excerpt
We generated all possible haploid and homozygous diploid genotypes at 6 biosynthetic loci in yeast and scored their fitness to examine whether there was any pattern of weak synergistic epistasis, which is a requirement of the deterministic mutation model for the evolution of sex. We measured 4 components of fitness: haploid growth rate, haploid mating efficiency, diploid growth rate, and diploid sporulation...
