The number of lines of descent and fixation probabilities of alleles in the pure genetic drift process: analytical approximations.

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of diversity between populations diverged from an evolutionarily small number of generations cannot be done under the assumption that allele frequencies reflect an equilibrium between genetic drift and mutations. An alternative to analysis through coalescence theory is proposed in this situation by developing analytical approximations. Using a Poisson approximation of its distribution, the expected...
