Hill-Robertson interference maintained by Red Queen dynamics favours the evolution of sex.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2017

da Silva J, Galbraith J D

Abstract excerpt

Although it is well established theoretically that selective interference among mutations (Hill-Robertson interference) favours meiotic recombination, genomewide mean rates of mutation and strengths of selection appear too low to support this as the mechanism favouring recombination in nature. A possible solution to this discrepancy between theory and observation is that selection is at least intermittently very...
