Primes¶
- Selection-Visibility Gate
- Retention shifts accordingly, and the surviving pool ends up enriched for variants that cleared the gate rather than for variants that were best.
This sourceShows that selection is ineffective on rare recessive characters because their effects are masked in heterozygotes, so which variants the surviving pool is enriched for depends on which effects are expressed.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Abstract says selection is ineffective on rare autosomal recessives since their effects are masked; it supports retention tracking expression, not intrinsic merit, but not the general enrichment claim.
“Selection of a given intensity is most effective when amphimixis does not affect the character selected, e.g. Selection is very ineffective on autosomal recessive characters so long as they are rare.”
- Retention shifts accordingly, and the surviving pool ends up enriched for variants that cleared the gate rather than for variants that were best.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
