F(ST) in the cytonuclear system.
Theoretical population biology - 1 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt
Selection on nuclear (or organelle) sites inevitably affects the spatial distribution of a neutral organelle (or nuclear) allele via transient cytonuclear disequilibrium. Here I examine this effect in terms of F(st) for a neutral allele by bringing together cytonuclear genomes with contrasting modes of inheritance. The relationships between cytonuclear disequilibrium and increment in F(st) are explored and...
