Recombination, selection and the evolution of tandem gene arrays

2022-01-28

Abstract excerpt

Multi-gene families – immunity genes or sensory receptors, for instance – are often subject to diversifying selection. Allelic diversity may be favoured not only through balancing or frequency dependent selection at individual loci, but also by associating different alleles in multi copy gene families. Using a combination of analytical calculations and simulations, we explored a population genetic model of epistat...
