Jain Kavita, Stephan Wolfgang
Abstract excerpt
We consider an infinitely large population under stabilizing selection and mutation in which the allelic effects determining a polygenic trait vary between loci. We obtain analytical expressions for the stationary genetic variance as a function of the distribution of effects, mutation rate, and selection coefficient. We also study the dynamics of the allele frequencies, focusing on short-term evolution of the...
