Population structure can reduce clonal interference when sexual reproduction and dispersal are synchronized.

Genetics - 6 Jul 2026

Liu Qihan, Weissman Daniel B

Abstract excerpt

In populations with limited recombination, clonal interference among beneficial mutations limits the maximum rate of adaptation. Spatial structure slows the spread of beneficial alleles; in purely asexual populations, this increases the amount of clonal interference. Beyond this extreme case, however, it is unclear how spatial structure and recombination interact to determine the amount of clonal interference....
