Extinction time and age of an allele in a large finite population.

Theoretical population biology - 1 May 2002

van Herwaarden Onno A, van der Wal Nathalie J

Abstract excerpt

For a single locus with two alleles we study the expected extinction and fixation times of the alleles under the influence of selection and genetic drift. Using a diffusion model we derive asymptotic approximations for these expected exit times for large populations. We consider the case where the fitness of the heterozygote is in between the fitnesses of the homozygotes (incomplete dominance). The asymptotic...
