VARIANCE OF GENE FREQUENCIES FROM RECURRENT SELECTION IN FINITE POPULATIONS

[摘要] An equation was derived for estimation of the variance of gene frequencies due to drift in the presence of recurrent selection. The equation assumes knowledge of gene frequencies in successive generations. These can be approximated in at least three ways. Simulation data demonstrated that when satisfactory approximations are used, the variances supplied by the derived formula agree well with observed variances.
