The Red Queen lives: Epistasis between linked resistance loci.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2016

Metzger César M J A, Luijckx Pepijn, Bento Gilberto, Mariadassou Mahendra, Ebert Dieter

Abstract excerpt

A popular theory explaining the maintenance of genetic recombination (sex) is the Red Queen Theory. This theory revolves around the idea that time-lagged negative frequency-dependent selection by parasites favors rare host genotypes generated through recombination. Although the Red Queen has been studied for decades, one of its key assumptions has remained unsupported. The signature host-parasite specificity...
