clonal interference

Yu F & Etheridge A 2010 The fixation probability of two competing beneficial mutations. Theor Popul Biol 78:36-45. when s1 > s2, Barton (1995) shows that the probability of fixation of the allele carrying both beneficial mutations depends …

clonal interference

Lee M-C & Marx CJ 2013 Synchronous waves of failed soft sweeps in the laboratory: remarkably rampant clonal interference of alleles at a single locus. Genetics 193:943-952. the classic view of adaptation has been one of periodic selection,…

soft sweep

Cutter AD, Jovelin R & Dey A 2013 Molecular hyperdiversity and evolution in very large populations. Mol Ecol, in press. doi:10.1111/mec.12281 hyperdiverse species are particularly well suited for studying how compensatory mutation can medi…

polygenic adaptation

Desai MM, Walczak AM & Fisher DS 2013 Genetic diversity and the structure of genealogies in rapidly adapting populations. Genetics 193:565-585. hard selective sweeps are the primary mode of adaptation in small- to moderate-sized population…

mutation accumulation

Goyal S, Balick DJ, Jerison ER, Neher RA, Shraiman BI & Desai MM 2012 Dynamic mutation-selection balance as an evolutionary attractor. Genetics 191:1309-1319. back and compensatory mutations become more common as a population declines in f…

heterozygote advantage

Hedrick PW 2012 What is the evidence for heterozygote advantage selection? TREE 27:698-704. loci with heterozygote advantage must be considered only a small minority of all loci in a species it is generally not possible to distinguish betw…

soft sweep

Sellis D, Callahan BJ, Petrov DA & Messer PW 2011 Heterozygote advantage as a natural consequence of adaptation in diploids. PNAS 108:20666-20671. molecular adaptation is typically assumed to proceed by sequential fixation of beneficial mu…
