The dynamics of infinitesimally rare alleles, applied to the evolution of mutation rates and the expression of deleterious mutations.

Abstract excerpt

A new method is presented for analysing the dynamics of a classical model where infinitesimally rare alleles segregate at an infinite number of unlinked loci, and where the alleles at different loci have equivalent effects. The dynamics of the distribution of the number of rare alleles per individual (the "phenotypic distribution") can be followed without knowing the frequencies of individual genotypes. Meiosis...
