Complete numerical solution of the diffusion equation of random genetic drift.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2013

Zhao Lei, Yue Xingye, Waxman David

Abstract excerpt

A numerical method is presented to solve the diffusion equation for the random genetic drift that occurs at a single unlinked locus with two alleles. The method was designed to conserve probability, and the resulting numerical solution represents a probability distribution whose total probability is unity. We describe solutions of the diffusion equation whose total probability is unity as complete. Thus the...
