Abstract excerpt
The effect of population bottlenecks on the mean and the additive variance generated by two neutral independent epistatic loci has been studied theoretically. Six epistatic models, used in the analysis of binary disease traits, were considered. Ancestral values in an infinitely large panmictic population were compared with their expectations at equilibrium, after t consecutive bottlenecks of equal size N (derived...
