Directional selection and the evolution of sex and recombination.

Genetical research - 1 Jun 1993

Charlesworth B

Abstract excerpt

Models of the evolutionary advantages of sex and genetic recombination due to directional selection on a quantitative trait are analysed. The models assume that the trait is controlled by many additive genes. A nor-optimal selection function is used, in which the optimum either moves steadily in one direction, follows an autocorrelated linear Markov process or a random walk, or varies cyclically. The consequences...
