Distribution of allelic frequencies in a finite population under stepwise production of neutral alleles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A formula for the distribution of allelic frequencies in a finite population is derived assuming stepwise production of multiple alleles. Monte Carlo experiments were performed to check the validity of the formula, and excellent agreement was obtained between theoretical distribution and experimental results. The formula should be useful for analyzing genetic variability in natural populations that can be detected by electrophoretic methods.

Simulation studies on electrophoretically detectable genetic variability in a finite population.
Using a new model of isoalleles, extensive Monte Carlo experiments were performed to examine the pattern of allelic distribution in a finite population. In this model it was assumed that the set of allelic states is represented by discrete points on a one-dimensional lattice and that change of state by mutation occurs in such a way that an allele moves either one step in the positive direction ...
متن کاملFrequencies of HLA-E*01:01/*01:03 Alleles in an Iranian Healthy Population and Its Comparison with Hyperglycemia Patients
Background and Aims: The human leukocyte antigen-E (HLA-E) is a member of non-classical HLA class-I genes which is highly conserved through evolution. In general, so far 25 alleles of HLA-E have been described. However, the existence of only two allelic group; HLA-E*01:01 and HLA-E*01:03 have been demonstrated in all the populations. HLA-E*01:01 and HLA-E*01:03 differ only at codon 107 of exon ...
متن کاملWhat Does Genetic Randomness Look Like?
What are the observable consequences of randomness? This question has been asked in all disciplines where random processes affect significantly, or even entirely, those phenomena being studied. It arose in evolutionary genetics in the late 19605 when it was claimed that most of the genetic variation in natural populations, which was then being observed for the first time in detail, does not hav...
متن کاملFrequency of rare HLA-A allelic groups in Gilak, Lor, Kurdish and Arab ethnic groups of Iran
Abstract Background and Objectives Histocompatibility antigens (HLAs) have high genetic diversity and their frequency can be diverse in different ethnicities. Therefore, the determination of these antigens in different ethnicities can provide data used in the expansion of centers for the registration of stem cell donors. Materials and Methods In this descriptive study, donor DNA was extracted ...
متن کاملFrequencies of HLA-A, B and DRB1 alleles in a large normal population living in the city of Mashhad, Northeastern Iran
Objective(s): The population in Iran is a genetic admixture of the ancestral Aryan and other populations neighboring Iran. Different ethnic groups in Iran show wide regional distributions for many human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Therefore, it is necessary and sensible to study the differences in HLA allele distribution in different area. We studied the HLA class I and II allele frequenci...
