Abstract excerpt
The proportion of mutations that are dominant is a fundamental genetic parameter affecting the rate of adaptation, the efficacy of selection, and the maintenance of variation in populations. Yet, estimates for this parameter vary greatly. Here we directly quantify the rates and genetic targets of dominant and recessive mutations in the yeast mating pathway by performing parallel genetic screens in haploid (MATa)...
