Formal properties of the probability of fixation: identities, inequalities and approximations.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 2015

McCandlish David M, Epstein Charles L, Plotkin Joshua B

Abstract excerpt

The formula for the probability of fixation of a new mutation is widely used in theoretical population genetics and molecular evolution. Here we derive a series of identities, inequalities and approximations for the exact probability of fixation of a new mutation under the Moran process (equivalent results hold for the approximate probability of fixation under the Wright-Fisher process, after an appropriate...
