Do clones degenerate over time? Explaining the genetic variability of asexuals through population genetic models.

Biology direct - 3 Mar 2011

Janko Karel, Drozd Pavel, Eisner Jan

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Quest for understanding the nature of mechanisms governing the life span of clonal organisms lasts for several decades. Phylogenetic evidence for recent origins of most clones is usually interpreted as proof that clones suffer from gradual age-dependent fitness decay (e.g. Muller's ra...
