A simple genealogical structure of strongly balanced allelic lines and trans-species evolution of polymorphism.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Apr 1990

Takahata N

Abstract excerpt

Different alleles undergoing strong symmetric balancing selection show a simple genealogical structure (allelic genealogy), similar to the gene genealogy described by the coalescence process for a sample of neutral genes randomly drawn from a panmictic population at equilibrium. The only difference between the two genealogies lies in the different time scales. An approximate scaling factor for allelic genealogy...
