Further observations on the evolution of additive genetic variation with mutation.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 1994

Cockerham C C

Abstract excerpt

Two mutation models, LH by Lynch and Hill and CT by Cockerham and Tachida, utilized for a neutral quantitative character caused by genes with additive effects undergoing mutation and drift, were compared for the genetic variances within, sigma w2, and between sigma b2, replicate small populations initiated from an almost fixed founder population. The two models give results that are very similar for sigma w2 and...
