Gene diversity in finite populations

Analysis of gene diversity in subdivided populations.

A method is presented by which the gene diversity (heterozygosity) of a subdivided population can be analyzed into its components, i.e., the gene diversities within and between subpopulations. This method is applicable to any population without regard to the number of alleles per locus, the pattern of evolutionary forces such as mutation, selection, and migration, and the reproductive method of...

Phytochemical Diversity of Eremostachys laciniata Bunge Populations in Iran

Evaluation of morphometric diversity of Moringa Peregrina Baluchestan populations

In order to investigate the morphometric diversity of Moringa populations in ten regions and villages located in Fennuj and Nikshahr of Baluchestan including Bennet, Keshgh, Desc, Madhadi, Nesfaran, Condaran, Tang Fnvjh mouth, and Haft Dokhtaran, Moringa seeds were collected. Twenty Sterile seeds of each genotype were cultured in separate petri diches in three replicates and the culture plates ...

Morphological diversity in three species of Chubs (Squalius spp.) populations in Iranian Basins

. In this study, morphological variation of three species of Squalius in Iranian basins was studied. For this purpose, 709 specimens were captured from the Caspian Sea, the Urmia Lake, the Namak Lake and the Tigris basin. After anesthetizing in clove oil solution and fixing in 10% neutralized formalin, specimens were transferred to the Isfahan University of Technology Ichthyology Museum (IUT-IM...

Error threshold in finite populations

We extend the deterministic population genetics formulation of the quasispecies model [Phys. Rev. E 54, 4048 (1996)] to finite populations in order to investigate analytically the dependence of the error threshold on the population size. In particular, we find that for large populations the replication accuracy at the threshold increases linearly with the reciprocal of the population size. More...
