Fixation in Conditional Branching Process Models in Population Genetics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

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 ...

A criterion for stability-instability at fixation states involving an eigenvalue one with applications in population genetics

Theoretical Population Biology, 1982
Abstract An explicit general criterion for stability-instability at fixation states is provided when the leading eigenvalue of the gradient matrix is one. Several applications in population genetics are presented including cases of familial selection of dominant and recessive genes, models of preferential mating, incompatibility systems, and effects ...

Population Growth Combined with Wide Offspring Distributions can Increase Fixation Rate and Reduce Genetic Diversity

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2016
Genetic diversity grows with the population size in most neutral evolution models. Empirical evidence of large populations with limited diversity has been proposed to be due either to genetic bottlenecks or to selection. An alternative explanation is that the limited diversity is a result of rare reproduction events.

The genetic diversity and applicability assessment of autosomal STRs among Chinese populations by a novel Fixation Index and Nei’s index

Legal Medicine, 2018
The population-specific FST in STR loci of Chinese populations has not been focused on. Here, we genotyped 19 STRs in 530 unrelated healthy individuals of Xuzhou Han population, and collected data of 30,308 samples from 32 Hans and 50 minorities nationwide.
