    Area of Science:

    • Population Genetics
    • Evolutionary Biology

    Background:

    • Genetic distance measures are crucial for understanding population divergence.
    • Existing measures may present complexities in evolutionary studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel, simple genetic distance measure based on a selection model.
    • To define and explore the properties of this new genetic distance metric.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a simple selection model with fitness values (1, w, w^2) for genotypes (AA, Aa, aa).
    • Defining genetic distance (d) as the negative logarithm of fitness (d = -log w).
    • Analyzing the symmetry and additivity properties of the defined genetic distance.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed genetic distance is symmetrical between populations.

  • The genetic distance measure is additive (d13 = d12 + d23).
  • The sampling variance of this genetic distance has a simple mathematical form.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed genetic distance offers a straightforward approach for comparing populations.
    • This metric can aid in the study of evolutionary history with simplified analysis.
    • Potential challenges in applying genetic distance measures are acknowledged.
