Prediction and estimation of effective population size.

Heredity - 1 Oct 2016

Wang J, Santiago E, Caballero A

Abstract excerpt

Effective population size (Ne) is a key parameter in population genetics. It has important applications in evolutionary biology, conservation genetics and plant and animal breeding, because it measures the rates of genetic drift and inbreeding and affects the efficacy of systematic evolutionary forces, such as mutation, selection and migration. We review the developments in predictive equations and estimation...
