Mutation and selection in a large population.

Bio Systems - 1 Jan 2000

Peck J R, Waxman D, Cruikshank A

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we study a large, but finite population, in which mutation and selection occur at a single genetic locus in a diploid organism. We provide theoretical results for the equilibrium allele frequencies, their variances and covariances and their equilibrium distribution, when the population size is larger than the reciprocal of the mean allelic mutation rate. We are also able to infer that the...
