A model for the evolution of the genome: the effect of stochasticity on genetic loads.

IMA journal of mathematics applied in medicine and biology - 1 Jan 1995

Phelps FM I V

Abstract excerpt

In this paper a general model is given for the evolution of the genome incorporating stochastic factors. The model is applied to the substitutional genetic load problem. All of the major hard selection load formulae in the literature are extended and, where necessary, corrected (for stochasticity...
