Maintenance of polygenic variation through mutation-selection balance: bifurcation analysis of a biallelic model.

Journal of mathematical biology - 1 Jan 1990

Abstract excerpt

Biallelic models which ignore linkage disequilibrium have been used to study variability maintained by mutation in the presence of Gaussian stabilizing selection. Recent work of Barton (1986) showed that these models have stable equilibria at which the mean phenotype differed from the optimum, an...
