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.

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 ...

Phenotypic heterogeneity in modeling cancer evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The unwelcome evolution of malignancy during cancer progression emerges through a selection process in a complex heterogeneous population structure. In the present work, we investigate evolutionary dynamics in a phenotypically heterogeneous population of

Mating system and speciation I: Accumulation of genetic incompatibilities in allopatry.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Self-fertilisation is widespread among hermaphroditic species across the tree of life. Selfing has many consequences on the genetic diversity and the evolutionary dynamics of populations, which may in turn affect macroevolutionary processes such as ...

Wright-fisher-like models with constant population size on average [PDF]
, 2017 We first recall some basic facts from the theory of discrete-time Markov chains arising from two types neutral and non-neutral evolution models of population genetics with constant size.

Linking Diversity and Differentiation
Diversity, 2010 Generally speaking, the term differentiation refers to differences between collections for the distribution of specified traits of their members, while diversity deals with (effective) numbers of trait states (types).

The effect of recurrent mutations on genetic diversity in a large population of varying size [PDF]
, 2016 Recurrent mutations are a common phenomenon in population genetics. They may be at the origin of the fixation of a new genotype, if they give a phenotypic advantage to the carriers of the new mutation.
