Abstract excerpt
The nature of selection acting on a population is in large measure determined by the distribution of fitness effects of new mutations. In this study, we use DNA sequences from four closely related clades of Saccharomyces paradoxus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify and polarize new mutations and estimate their fitness effects. By progressively restricting the analyses to narrower categories of sites, we...
