Abstract
Knowledge of the frequency of lethal mutant alleles in a population is important for our understanding of population genetics and evolution, and yet there have been few attempts to measure their number in wild populations. A new study has revealed unexpectedly low numbers of segregating lethal alleles in two species of fish. More experiments are needed, however, to know whether this result is general.Mesh：
