The hitch-hiking effect of a favourable gene

John Maynard Smith, John Haigh · 1 Feb 1974

Summary When a selectively favourable gene substitution occurs in a population, changes in gene frequencies will occur at closely linked loci. In the case of a neutral polymorphism, average heterozygosity will be reduced to an extent which varies with distance from the substituted locus. The aggregate effect of substitution on neutral polymorphism is estimated; in…

The effect of linkage on limits to artificial selection

William G. Hill, Alan Robertson · 1 Dec 1966

(i) A computer simulation study has been made of selection on two linked loci in small populations, where both loci were assumed to have additive effects on the character under selection with no interaction between loci. If N is the effective population size, i the intensity of selection in standard units, α and β measure…

A mechanism for gene conversion in fungi

Robin Holliday · 1 Jul 1964

A mechanism for gene conversion is proposed which overcomes many of the difficulties that any copy choice model encounters. It is suggested that along with general genetic pairing of homologous genomes at meiosis, effective pairing over short regions of the genetic material occurs at the molecular level by the separation of the strands of the…
