Abstract excerpt
A subpopulation D of rare alleles is considered. The subpopulation is part of a large population that evolves according to a Moran model with selection and growth. Conditional on the current frequency, q, of the rare allele, an approximation to the distribution of the genealogy of D is derived. In particular, the density of the age, T(1), of the rare allele is approximated. It is shown that time naturally is...
