Interaction of selection and recombination in the fixation of negative-epistatic genes.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the interaction of recombination and selection on the process of fixation of two linked loci with epistatic interactions in fitness. We consider both the probability of fixation of newly arising mutants (the static model) and the time to fixation under continued mutation (the dyna...
