Theoretical population biology - 1 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt
We consider non-neutral models for unlinked loci, where the fitness of a chromosome or individual is not multiplicative across loci. Such models are suitable for many complex diseases, where there are gene-interactions. We derive a genealogical process for such models, called the complex selection graph (CSG). This coalescent-type process is related to the ancestral selection graph, and is derived from the...
