Heterozygosity-fitness correlations: new perspectives on old problems.

Heredity - 1 May 1998

David P

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFC) have been studied in various organisms for more than two decades, but they are not universal. Although their detectability is limited by several factors (null alleles, inaccuracy of the phenotypic description of fitness, small sample sizes) the correlations appear intrinsically weak and often inconsistent across samples. Determining the origins of HFC is therefore a...
