Dynamics of polygenic variability under stabilizing selection, recombination, and drift.

Genetical research - 1 Feb 1995

Abstract excerpt

We study the transient dynamics of the genotypic variance of an additive trait under stabilizing selection, recombination and random drift. We show how interaction of these factors determines the form and the rates of change of different components of the genotypic variance. Let Vg be the genic v...
