The latent load and the population-optimal mutation rate

2023-06-28

Abstract excerpt

The rarity of positively selected sites may lead to the expectation that they have only a minor effect on total genetic load. A framework for the genetic load associated with positively selected sites in sexual populations is presented and analyzed. This framework defines the latent load as the genetic load associated with positively selected sites that are destined to fix, but for which beneficial alleles have no...
