Mutation in populations governed by a Galton-Watson branching process.

Abstract excerpt

A population genetics model based on a multitype branching process, or equivalently a Galton-Watson branching process for multiple alleles, is presented. The diffusion limit forward Kolmogorov equation is derived for the case of neutral mutations. The asymptotic stationary solution is obtained and has the property that the extant population partitions into subpopulations whose relative sizes are determined by...
