Predicting the Effectiveness of Population Replacement Strategy Using Mathematical Modeling
Published on: July 4, 2007
Abstract:
A continuous time selection model is formulated for a diploid monoecious population with multiple alleles at each of an arbitrary number of loci, incorporating differential fertility and mortality as well as arbitrary mating and age structure. The model is simplified in the case of age-independence and for the case of a stable age distribution. The age-independent model is examined in detail for the special case of multiple alleles at each of two loci. This model is analyzed under the assumptions of random mating and additive fertilities, with close attention given to the behavior of the system with respect to Hardy-Weinberg proportions and linkage equilibrium.
