The genetic basis and experimental evolution of inbreeding depression in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

Determining the genetic basis of inbreeding depression is important for understanding the role of selection in the evolution of mixed breeding systems. Here, we investigate how androdioecy (a breeding system characterized by partial selfing and outcrossing) and dioecy (characterized by obligatory outcrossing) influence the experimental evolution of inbreeding depression in Caenorhabditis elegans. We derived...
