The process of domestication is associated with decrease in effective population size, which in turn leads to accumulation of slightly-deleterious mutations due to genetic drift. To maintain genome quality at a high level, we propose to use a stress-induced strong purifying selection, which based on negative epistasis, can effectively eliminate organisms with an excess of deleterious variants. Here, to identify stress factors, which interact with the effect of deleterious mutations we performed a proof-of-principle experiment with several regimes of a heat shock. We observed that fitness of mutated versus wild-type carp lines drops stronger after heat shock, which is a signature of a negative epistasis. Although the observed trend is promising, the effect of the epistasis is weak and unstable from family to family. Thus, more deep tuning of heat shock regimes is needed to uncover the most efficient combination of factors (absolute temperature, duration, stage of the embryo development) aggravating the burden of deleterious mutations and thus exposing them to the selection.
