Mutation and selection within the individual.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1998

Otto S P, Hastings I M

Abstract excerpt

Selection within the individual may have played a critical and creative role in evolution, boosting the survival chances of mutations beneficial to the cell and the individual, hindering the spread of deleterious mutations, and reducing the genetic load imposed on the population. We review the literature and present new results to describe the effects of cell-lineage selection on the rate and fixation probability...
