Heterozygosity, heteromorphy, and phylogenetic trees in asexual eukaryotes.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1996

Birky C W

Abstract excerpt

Little attention has been paid to the consequences of long-term asexual reproduction for sequence evolution in diploid or polyploid eukaryotic organisms. Some elementary theory shows that the amount of neutral sequence divergence between two alleles of a protein-coding gene in an asexual individual will be greater than that in a sexual species by a factor of 2tu, where t is the number of generations since sexual...
