Effects of partial inbreeding on fixation rates and variation of mutant genes.
Genetics - 1 Jun 1992
Caballero A, Hill W G
Abstract excerpt
Diffusion methods were used to investigate the fixation probability, average time until fixation and extinction, and cumulative heterozygosity and genetic variance for single mutant genes in finite populations with partial inbreeding. The critical parameters in the approximation are the coefficient of inbreeding due to nonrandom mating (F) and the effective population size (Ne), which also depends on F and the...
