A novel solution for the time-dependent probability of gene fixation or loss under natural selection.

Abstract excerpt

Kimura proposed a solution for the time-dependent probability of fixation, or loss, of a gene under selection. Example calculations suggest the formulas are prone to numerical inaccuracies. An alternative solution is proposed; the correctness of the solution is confirmed by numerically solving the Kolmogorov backward equation and by simulation.
