Through Sex, Nature Is Telling Us Something Important.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 May 2018

Kondrashov Alexey S

Abstract excerpt

Theoretically, a variety of mechanisms can make amphimixis advantageous due to reshuffling of offspring genotypes. Recently, it has been shown experimentally that some of these mechanisms can indeed work in artificial populations. However, we still do not know which of them, if any, are relevant in nature, and the available indirect estimates seem to suggest that neither negative nor positive selection in natural...
