Genetic architecture and the evolution of sex.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Lohaus Rolf, Burch Christina L, Azevedo Ricardo B R

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical investigations of the advantages of sex have tended to treat the genetic architecture of organisms as static and have not considered that genetic architecture might coevolve with reproductive mode. As a result, some potential advantages of sex may have been missed. Using a gene network model, we recently showed that recombination imposes selection for robustness to mutation and that negative epistasis...
