Clusters of new identical mutants and the fate of underdominant mutations.
Genetica - 1 Jan 1998
Huai H, Woodruff R C
Abstract excerpt
Given favorable environmental and demographic conditions, premeiotic clusters of identical mutations can produce a broad distribution of the initial frequency of underdominant alleles. Because of these clusters, new underdominant mutations may not necessarily be as rare in a population as previou...
