Abstract excerpt
In various organisms, sequencing of selectively bred lines at apparent selection limits has demonstrated that genetic variation can remain at many loci, implying that evolution at the genetic level may continue even if the population mean phenotype remains constant. We compared selection signatures at generations 22 and 61 of the "High Runner" mouse experiment, which includes 4 replicate lines bred for voluntary...
