The effect of deleterious mutations and age on recombination in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

At the population level, recombination mediates the efficiency with which selection can eliminate deleterious mutations. At the individual level, deleterious alleles may influence recombination, which would change the rate at which linkage disequilibrium is eroded and thereby alter the efficiency...
