Mutation Is a Sufficient and Robust Predictor of Genetic Variation for Mitotic Spindle Traits in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2016

Farhadifar Reza, Ponciano José Miguel, Andersen Erik C, Needleman Daniel J, Baer Charles F

Abstract excerpt

Different types of phenotypic traits consistently exhibit different levels of genetic variation in natural populations. There are two potential explanations: Either mutation produces genetic variation at different rates or natural selection removes or promotes genetic variation at different rates. Whether mutation or selection is of greater general importance is a longstanding unresolved question in evolutionary...
