Genetic Drift of HIV Populations in Culture
Populations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) undergo a surprisingly large amount of genetic drift in infected patients despite very large population sizes, which are predicted to be mostly deterministic. Several models have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, but all of them implicitly assume that the process of virus replication itself does not contribute to genetic drift. ...
متن کاملgenetic drift in populations of larestan fars provice, iran
a total of 2519 blood samples were collected from five distinct populations of larestan, in fars province, in iran (lar, gerash, khour, latifi and berake) were examined for abo and rh blood groups. the gene frequencies obtained from these samples were compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other populations of fars province to determine the genetic structure of the larestan...
متن کاملGenetic variation and random drift in autotetraploid populations.
The rate of decay of genetic variation is determined for randomly mating autotetraploid populations of finite size, and the equilibrium homozygosity under mutation and random drift is calculated. It is shown that heterozygosity is lost at a slower rate than in diploid populations, and that the equilibrium heterozygosity with mutation and random drift is higher than for diploids. Outcrossing pop...
متن کاملEnvironmental variation, fluctuating selection and genetic drift in subdivided populations.
Although there have many studies of the population genetical consequences of environmental variation, little is known about the combined effects of genetic drift and fluctuating selection in structured populations. Here we use diffusion theory to investigate the effects of temporally and spatially varying selection on a population of haploid individuals subdivided into a large number of demes. ...
متن کاملGenetic Drift in Populations of Distorting Gene Complexes
We use stochastic population models to study the evolution of distorting gene complexes. Distorting gene complexes, or distorters, are chromosomal regions characterized by meiotic drive: a heterozygote bearing the distorter passes it to more than 50% of offspring. Homozygotes bearing the distorting complex are sterile. Although distorters promote themselves at the expense of other genes in the ...
