Preprint out for final chapter of my dissertation. Showing putative relaxation of selection on sexual reproduction genes in cassava. Muller's Ratchet in Action: The Erosion of Sexual Reproduction Genes in Domesticated Cassava (Manihot esculenta)
biorxiv.org
Centuries of clonal propagation in cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) have engaged Muller’s Ratchet, leading to the accumulation of deleterious mutations due to the absence of sexual recombination. This...
