The advantage of recombination when selection is acting at many genetic Loci.

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection can act at many loci across the genome. But as the number of polymorphic loci increases linearly, the number of possible genotypic combinations increases exponentially. Consequently, a finite population - even a very large population - contains only a small sample of all possible multi-locus genotypes. In this paper, we revisit the classic Fisher-Muller models of recombination, taking into...
