Coalescent Theory for a Monoecious Random Mating Population with a Varying Size
Consider a monoecious diploid population with nonoverlapping generations, whose size varies with time according to an irreducible, aperiodic Markov chain with states x1N, . . . , xKN , where K N . It is assumed that all matings except for selfing are possible and equally probable. At time 0 a random sample of n N genes is taken. Given two successive population sizes xjN and xiN , the numbers of...
متن کاملThe Coalescent Process in a Population with Stochastically Varying Size
We study the genealogical structure of a population with stochastically fluctuating size. If such fluctuations, after suitable rescaling, can be approximated by a nice continuous-time process, we prove weak convergence in the Skorokhod topology of the scaled ancestral process to a stochastic time change of Kingman’s coalescent, the time change being given by an additive functional of the limiti...
متن کاملCoalescent theory for a partially selfing population.
A coalescent theory for a sample of DNA sequences from a partially selfing diploid population and an algorithm for simulating such samples are developed in this article. Approximate formulas are given for the expectation and the variance of the number of segregating sites in a sample of k sequences from n individuals. Several new estimators of the important parameters theta = 4N mu and the self...
متن کاملA Study on Non-random Mating and Varying Population Size in Genetic Algorithms Using a Royal Road Function
In this paper we present a study on the effects of non-random mating and varying population size in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) performance. We tested two algorithms: the non-incest Genetic Algorithm with varying population size (niGAVaPS) and the negative Assortative Mating Genetic Algorithm with varying population size (nAMGAVaPS), on a Royal Road function. These algorithms mimic natural species...
متن کاملEffective population size under random mating with a finite number of matings.
Random mating is the null model central to population genetics. One assumption behind random mating is that individuals mate an infinite number of times. This is obviously unrealistic. Here we show that when each female mates a finite number of times, the effective size of the population is substantially decreased.
