RAPID FITNESS RECOVERY IN MUTATIONALLY DEGRADED LINES OF CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS

2003-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Deleterious mutation accumulation has been implicated in many biological phenomena and as a potentially significant threat to human health and the persistence of small populations. The vast majority of mutations with effects on fitness are known to be deleterious in a given environment, and their accumulation results in mean population fitness decline. However, whether populations are capable of recovering from ne...
