The evolution of tandem repeat sequences under partial selfing and different modes of selection - Heredity Heredity - The evolution of tandem repeat sequences under partial selfing and different modes of selection

New paper with @vsudbrack.bsky.social. Using pop gen modelling, we show that partial selfing makes selection on tandem repeats more efficient, reducing the associated load across different scenarios. Thanks to @snsf.ch @dee-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social !
