The mutation rate and the distribution of mutational effects of viability and fitness in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1998

García-Dorado A, Monedero J L, López-Fanjul C

Abstract excerpt

The empirical distributions of the average viability and fitness of mutation accumulation lines of Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed using minimum distance estimation. Data come from two different experimental designs where mutations were allowed to accumulate: 1) in copies of chromosome II protected from natural selection and recombination (viability: Mukai et al., 1972; Ohnishi, 1977; fitness: Houle et al.,...
