A one locus, biased mutation model and its equivalence to an unbiased model.

Abstract excerpt

Experimental data suggests that for some continuously-varying characters under stabilising selection, mutation may cause a mean change in the value of the character. A one locus, mathematical model of a continuously-varying biological character with this property of biased mutation is investigated. Via a mathematical transformation, the equilibrium equation describing a large population of individuals is reduced...
