For example, if the combination of B alleles on distal chromosome 1 and B alleles on proximal chromosome 19 is favorable for fitness, then these two intervals will effectively be in linkage disequilibrium in the final RI set.
For example, consider a linear fitness function f( p ) = 2 p . In this case, the fitness of an organism with one gene copy is f( p ) = 2 p = 2(1) = 2, and the fitness of the same organism with one point mutation is f( p ) = 2 p = 2( d - m /10) = 2(1 - 1/10) = 1.8; thus the mutation reduced fitness by 10% (1 - 1.8/2).
And, says the Journal , Starr will conclude therefore that Congress has no choice but to debate Clinton's fitness to remain in office.
With a continuous fitness scale, apart from neutral and inviable sequences, we would have to keep track of slightly and strongly deleterious as well as advantageous sequences, and would consequently need a much more elaborate mathematical procedure to account for the contributions from these different fitness classes.
Examples include genes for the yeast hexose transporter, whose amplification has been shown to increase fitness in a low-glucose environment [ 49], the nematode P-glycoprotein gene, the classical eukaryotic multidrug-resistance gene [ 36], and the fruit fly copper-binding metallothionein gene whose duplication is implicated in copper tolerance [ 40, 41].
