Fixation in Conditional Branching Process Models in Population Genetics [PDF]
Journal of Applied Probability, 2007 An alternative version of the necessary and sufficient condition for almost sure fixation in the conditional branching process model is derived. This formulation provides an insight into why the examples considered in Buckley and Seneta (1983) all have the same condition for fixation.

Active information requirements for fixation on the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics. [PDF]
BIO-Complexity 2020(4):1-6, 2021 In the context of population genetics, active information can be extended to measure the change of information of a given event (e.g., fixation of an allele) from a neutral model in which only genetic drift is taken into account to a non-neutral model that includes other sources of frequency variation (e.g., selection and mutation).

POPULATION GENETICS, PLEIOTROPY, AND THE PREFERENTIAL FIXATION OF MUTATIONS DURING ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION [PDF]
Evolution, 2010 Ongoing debate centers on whether certain types of mutations are fixed preferentially during adaptive evolution. Although there has been much discussion, no quantitative framework currently exists to test for these biases. Here, we describe a method for distinguishing between the two processes that likely account for biased rates of substitution ...

Fixation probabilities in network structured meta-populations
Scientific Reports, 2021 The effect of population structure on evolutionary dynamics is a long-lasting research topic in evolutionary ecology and population genetics. Evolutionary graph theory is a popular approach to this problem, where individuals are located on the nodes of a

Population Genetics with Fluctuating Population Sizes [PDF]
Journal of statistical physics, 2016 Standard neutral population genetics theory with a strictly fixed population size has important limitations. An alternative model that allows independently fluctuating population sizes and reproduces the standard neutral evolution is reviewed. We then study a situation such that the competing species are neutral at the equilibrium population size but ...

Hybrid fitness effects modify fixation probabilities of introgressed alleles
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Hybridization is a common occurrence in natural populations, and introgression is a major source of genetic variation. Despite the evolutionary importance of adaptive introgression, classical population genetics theory does not take into account hybrid ...
