Fluctuations of Fitness Distributions and the Rate of Muller’s Ratchet
The accumulation of deleterious mutations is driven by rare fluctuations that lead to the loss of all mutation free individuals, a process known as Muller’s ratchet. Even though Muller’s ratchet is a paradigmatic process in population genetics, a quantitative understanding of its rate is still lacki...
