Exact results for the probability and stochastic dynamics of fixation in the Wright-Fisher model.

Abstract excerpt

In this work we consider fixation of an allele in a population. Fixation is key to understanding the way long-term evolutionary change occurs at the gene and molecular levels. Two basic aspects of fixation are: (i) the chance it occurs and (ii) the way the gene frequency progresses to fixation. We present exact results for both aspects of fixation for the Wright-Fisher model. We give the exact fixation...
