Selection of different parameters to study epistatic effect between heat shock and slightly deleterious mutations in the most fragile stage of embryogenesis Cyprinus carpio L.

The paper investigates epistatic effects between heat shock and slightly deleterious mutations in Cyprinus carpio L. embryos using mutagenesis and temperature stress to improve genetic quality in fish populations.

Improving genome quality through artificial truncating purifying selection using heat shock: case of carps

The paper investigates using heat shock to induce purifying selection in carp to reduce deleterious mutations, finding that fitness drops more in mutated lines but with weak and unstable effects.
