Polygenic selection to a changing optimum under self-fertilisation.
PLoS genetics - 1 Jul 2024

Abstract excerpt
Many traits are polygenic, affected by multiple genetic variants throughout the genome. Selection acting on these traits involves co-ordinated allele-frequency changes at these underlying variants, and this process has been extensively studied in random-mating populations. Yet many species self-fertilise to some degree, which incurs changes to genetic diversity, recombination and genome segregation. These factors...
