The evolution of latent genes in subdivided populations.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1990

Moody M E, Basten C J

Abstract excerpt

We define latent genes as phenotypically silent DNA sequences which may be reactivated by various genetic mechanisms. Of interest is how they and their functional counterparts can be maintained at high frequency in the face of mutation and selection pressure. We propose a two-deme, three-allele model incorporating viability selection, mutation and migration in haploid populations. It is shown that polymorphism...
