Maintenance of genetic variability under strong stabilizing selection: a two-locus model.

Genetics - 1 May 1993

Gavrilets S, Hastings A

Abstract excerpt

We study a two locus model with additive contributions to the phenotype to explore the relationship between stabilizing selection and recombination. We show that if the double heterozygote has the optimum phenotype and the contributions of the loci to the trait are different, then any symmetric stabilizing selection fitness function can maintain genetic variability provided selection is sufficiently strong...
