Quantitative variability and multilocus polymorphism under epistatic selection.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Dec 1992

Zhivotovsky L A, Gavrilets S

Abstract excerpt

We study multilocus polymorphism under selection, using a class of fitness functions that account for additive, dominant, and pairwise additive-by-additive epistatic interactions. The dynamic equations are derived in terms of allele frequencies and disequilibria, using the notions of marginal sys...
