Genetic variant boosts fertility: Inverted region of DNA gives reproductive edge

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted which points to the feasibility of studying the selective efforts of genetic variants and determining their deleterious and advantageous effects. The researchers found that individuals with the inversion did indeed have higher recombination's rates than those without it although that only accounts for some part of the increased fertility.
