Uniparental Inheritance Promotes Adaptive Evolution in Cytoplasmic Genomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2017

Christie Joshua R, Beekman Madeleine

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotes carry numerous asexual cytoplasmic genomes (mitochondria and plastids). Lacking recombination, asexual genomes should theoretically suffer from impaired adaptive evolution. Yet, empirical evidence indicates that cytoplasmic genomes experience higher levels of adaptive evolution than predicted by theory. In this study, we use a computational model to show that the unique biology of cytoplasmic...
