Fixation probability and time in subdivided populations.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2003

Whitlock Michael C

Abstract excerpt

New alleles arising in a population by mutation ultimately are either fixed or lost. Either is possible, for both beneficial and deleterious alleles, because of stochastic changes in allele frequency due to genetic drift. Spatially structured populations differ from unstructured populations in the probability of fixation and the time that this fixation takes. Previous results have generally made many assumptions:...
