Recombination Speeds Adaptation by Reducing Competition between Beneficial Mutations in Populations of Escherichia coli
Identification of the selective forces contributing to the origin and maintenance of sex is a fundamental problem in biology. The Fisher–Muller model proposes that sex is advantageous because it allows beneficial mutations that arise in different lineages to recombine, thereby reducing clonal interf...
