Opiate receptors and the endorphin-mediated cardiovascular effects of clonidine in rats: evidence for hypertension-induced mu-subtype to delta-subtype changes.

abstract：:In sexual populations, selection operates neither on the whole genome, which is repeatedly taken apart and reassembled by recombination, nor on individual alleles that are tightly linked to the chromosomal neighborhood. The resulting interference between linked alleles reduces the efficiency of selection and distorts ...
