Variation in the strength and softness of selection on deleterious mutations.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2010

Laffafian Azadeh, King James D, Agrawal Aneil F

Abstract excerpt

Deleterious alleles constantly enter populations through mutation. Understanding the nature of selection against such alleles is required to assess their impact on populations. In a subdivided population, two distinct aspects of selection are important: the strength and softness of selection. Usi...
