Asexuals, Polyploids, Evolutionary Opportunists ...: The Population Genetics of Positive but Deteriorating Mutations.

Bengtsson, Bengt Olle LU (2012) In Genetics 191(4). p.499-1393
Abstract
Some genetic phenomena originate as mutations that are initially advantageous but decline in fitness until they become distinctly deleterious. Here I give the condition for a mutation-selection balance to form and describe some of the properties of the resulting equilibrium population. A characterization is also given of the fixation probabilities for such mutations.
