Comparing mutational variabilities.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1996

Houle D, Morikawa B, Lynch M

Abstract excerpt

We have reviewed the available data on VM, the amount of genetic variation in phenotypic traits produced each generation by mutation. We use these data to make several qualitative tests of the mutation-selection balance hypothesis for the maintenance of genetic variance (MSB). To compare VM values, we use three dimensionless quantities: mutational heritability, VM/VE, the mutational coefficient of variation, CVM;...
