Characterization of deleterious mutations in outcrossing populations.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1998

Deng H W

Abstract excerpt

Deng and Lynch recently proposed estimating the rate and effects of deleterious genomic mutations from changes in the mean and genetic variance of fitness upon selfing/outcrossing in outcrossing/highly selfing populations. The utility of our original estimation approach is limited in outcrossing...
