Cumulant dynamics of a population under multiplicative selection, mutation, and drift.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Aug 2001

Rattray M, Shapiro J L

Abstract excerpt

We revisit the classical population genetics model of a population evolving under multiplicative selection, mutation, and drift. The number of beneficial alleles in a multilocus system can be considered a trait under exponential selection. Equations of motion are derived for the cumulants of the trait distribution in the diffusion limit and under the assumption of linkage equilibrium. Because of the additive...
