The effect of inbreeding constraints and offspring distribution on time to the most recent common ancestor.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Oct 2015

Campbell R B

Abstract excerpt

The expected time to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of two alleles in a diploid individual is 4N+2 under random mating with a Poisson progeny distribution, but 8N-2 under maximum avoidance of inbreeding, which entails two progeny per mating pair. (N is the number of mating pairs, hence 2N is the number of individuals, hence 4N is the number of alleles.) The interrelationship of inbreeding constraints and...
