Before crossing over: the advantages of eukaryotic sex in genomes lacking chiasmatic recombination.

Genetical research - 1 Aug 1997

Antezana M A, Hudson R R

Abstract excerpt

Non-recombining populations should suffer from four classic population genetic disadvantages: (1) they cannot reverse Muller's Ratchet, the accumulation of deleterious mutations caused by genetic drift and mutation; (2) whenever the fix a favourable mutation they lose all unlinked favourable variants; (3) they tend to lose favourable mutations that are linked to deleterious mutations; and (4) their genetic loads...
