The fixation probability of beneficial mutations.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface - 6 Nov 2008

Patwa Z, Wahl L M

Abstract excerpt

The fixation probability, the probability that the frequency of a particular allele in a population will ultimately reach unity, is one of the cornerstones of population genetics. In this review, we give a brief historical overview of mathematical approaches used to estimate the fixation probability of beneficial alleles. We then focus on more recent work that has relaxed some of the key assumptions in these...
