This study derives formulae for genetic diversity metrics, including segregating and homogeneous sites, within a coalescent framework. Gene conversion and mutation models are compared to understand their impact on genetic variation.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Molecular evolution

Background:

  • Understanding genetic variation is crucial for evolutionary studies.
  • Previous models often simplified mutation and recombination processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive formulae for genetic diversity metrics under gene conversion and mutation.
  • To extend these formulae to larger sample sizes.
  • To compare models with and without gene conversion.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a coalescent framework.
  • Developing analytical formulae for expectation and variance.
  • Investigating infinitely-many-alleles and infinitely-many-sites models.

Main Results:

  • Derived exact formulae for the expectation and variance of segregating and homogeneous sites for a sample of two chromosomes.

  • Extended expectation formulae to arbitrary sample sizes.
  • Identified the impact of gene conversion on genetic diversity.

    • Conclusions:

    • The derived formulae provide a more comprehensive understanding of genetic variation.
    • Gene conversion significantly influences patterns of genetic diversity compared to pure mutation models.
