The fate of recessive deleterious or overdominant mutations near mating-type loci under partial selfing

This study examines how recessive deleterious or overdominant mutations near mating-type loci are maintained under partial selfing, finding that fungal-like mating-type loci reduce purging probability and increase purging time.

Modeling the stepwise extension of recombination suppression on sex chromosomes and other supergenes through deleterious mutation sheltering

This paper models how recombination suppression on sex chromosomes and supergenes expands stepwise by sheltering recessive deleterious mutations, without requiring sexually antagonistic selection.
