Abstract excerpt
STUDY PURPOSE: Deleterious mutations would be rapidly purged from natural populations along with the extinction of their carriers. The currently observed mutations in existing species are mostly neutral. The inaccessibility of deleterious mutations impedes the functional studies on how these mutations affect the fitness at individual level. STUDY DESIGN: The connection between the deleterious genotype and the...
