Data from: Selection on variance-controlling genes – adaptability or stability

Simulations on a model system where a variance-controlling master locus scales the effects of a set of effector loci show that selection affects the variance-controlling locus more strongly than the effector loci, and that the direction of selection is dependent on the frequency of environmental changes.基于方差控制主位点（variance-controlling master locus）调控一组效应位点（effector loci）效应强度的模型系统所开展的模拟研究显示，自然选择对该方差控制主位点的作用强度显著高于其对效应位点的作用，且选择方向取决于环境变化的发生频率。
