Abstract excerpt
AbstractMutation rates vary widely along genomes and across inheritance systems. This suggests that complex traits-resulting from the contributions of multiple determinants-might be composite in terms of the underlying mutation rates. Here we investigate through mathematical modeling whether such a heterogeneity may drive changes in a trait's architecture, especially in fluctuating environments, where phenotypic...
