Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a large contributor of genetic variation in natural populations or lab-evolved asexual diploids. However, its contribution to adaptation is uncertain, because the full spectrum of its fitness effects remains largely uncharacterized. To systematically investigate the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of LOH, we engineered a diverse, barcoded library of heterozygous diploid...
