Mutationism and the dual causation of evolutionary change.
The rediscovery of Mendel's laws a century ago launched the science that William Bateson called "genetics," and led to a new view of evolution combining selection, particulate inheritance, and the newly characterized phenomenon of "mutation." This "mutationist" view clashed with the earlier view of Darwin, and the later "Modern Synthesis," by allowing discontinuity, and by recognizing mutation ...
متن کاملOn the evolutionary stability of Mendelian segregation.
We present a model of a primary locus subject to viability selection and an unlinked locus that causes sex-specific modification of the segregation ratio at the primary locus. If there is a balanced polymorphism at the primary locus, a population undergoing Mendelian segregation can be invaded by modifier alleles that cause sex-specific biases in the segregation ratio. Even though this effect i...
متن کاملBest (but oft-forgotten) practices: the design, analysis, and interpretation of Mendelian randomization studies.
Mendelian randomization (MR) is an increasingly important tool for appraising causality in observational epidemiology. The technique exploits the principle that genotypes are not generally susceptible to reverse causation bias and confounding, reflecting their fixed nature and Mendel’s first and second laws of inheritance. The approach is, however, subject to important limitations and assumptio...

متن کاملChallenges to the Evolutionary Synthesis
Neo-Darwinism has been rightly construed more as a treaty than a theory because it laid down terms that allowed evolutionists and practitioners of the new science of genetics (and more generally molecular biology) to work together under common presuppositions. Evolutionists, in repudiation of their earlier flirtations with Lamarckism, accepted Weismannism; while geneticists, abandoning stress o...
