Sex is common among eukaryotes, but entails considerable costs. The selective conditions that drive the evolutionary maintenance of sexual reproduction remain an open question. One long-standing explanation is that sex and recombination facilitate adaptation to fluctuating environmental conditions, although the genetic mechanisms that underlie such a benefit have not been empirically observed. In this study, we compare the dynamics and fitness effects of mutations in sexual and asexual diploid populations of the yeast Saccharomyces ce
