Maintenance of quantitative genetic variation in regions of restricted recombination via associative overdominance
Mutation-selection balance is the most plausible general mechanism for the maintenance of additive genetic variance (VA) for quantitative traits in natural populations. It is well established that the genetic variants affecting traits (QTLs) are widely distributed across species’ genomes. At the same time, unconditiona...
