Abstract excerpt
We derive formulae for the fixation probability, P, of a rare benefical allele segregating in a population of fixed size which reproduces by binary fission, in terms of the selection coefficient for the beneficial allele, s. We find that an earlier result P approximately = 4s does not depend on the assumption of binary fission, but depends on an assumption about the ordering of events in the life cycle. We find...
