Allele frequencies with genic selection.

R C Griffiths

    Journal of Mathematical Biology
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    We studied allele frequencies in a K-allele diffusion model with mutation and selection. A new formula relates these frequencies to expectations in the neutral infinite alleles model.
