Linkage limits the power of natural selection in Drosophila

Population genetic theory shows that the efficacy of natural selection is limited by linkage—selection at one site interferes with selection at linked sites. Such interference slows adaptation in asexual genomes and may explain the evolutionary advantage of sex. Here, we test for two signatures of c...
