Steady state of homozygosity and Gst for the island model.

Abstract excerpt

We examine homozygosity and G(st) for a subdivided population governed by the finite island model. Assuming an infinite allele model and strong mutation we show that the steady state distributions of G(st) and homozygosity have asymptotic expansions in the mutation rate. We use this observation to derive asymptotic expansions for various moments of homozygosity and to derive rigorous formulas for the mean and...
