Multiple capacitors for natural genetic variation in Drosophila melanogaster.
Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2013
Takahashi Kazuo H
Abstract excerpt
Cryptic genetic variation (CGV) or a standing genetic variation that is not ordinarily expressed as a phenotype is released when the robustness of organisms is impaired under environmental or genetic perturbations. Evolutionary capacitors modulate the amount of genetic variation exposed to natural selection and hidden cryptically; they have a fundamental effect on the evolvability of traits on evolutionary...
