Wright and Fisher on inbreeding and random drift.
نویسنده
چکیده
Sewall Wright and R. A. Fisher often differed, including on the meaning of inbreeding and random gene frequency drift. Fisher regarded them as quite distinct processes, whereas Wright thought that because his inbreeding coefficient measured both they should be regarded as the same. Since the effective population numbers for inbreeding and random drift are different, this would argue for the Fisher view.

The Genetic Effective Size of a Population
Throughout the preceding chapter, we assumed a population with an idealized set of Wright-Fisher features, including random mating within a homogeneous group of monoecious, self-compatible individuals with equal expected family sizes, discrete generations, and an absence of density fluctuations. Because almost all populations deviate from this ideal structure in one or more ways, and often subs...
متن کاملComparison and content of the Wright-Fisher model of random genetic drift, the diffusion approximation, and an intermediate model.
We investigate the detailed connection between the Wright-Fisher model of random genetic drift and the diffusion approximation, under the assumption that selection and drift are weak and so cause small changes over a single generation. A representation of the mathematics underlying the Wright-Fisher model is introduced which allows the connection to be made with the corresponding mathematics un...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Genetics: Basics of Wright Fisher Model and Coalescent Theory
The Wright Fisher model of evolution attempts to simulate genetic drift wherein each individual in a generation produces an infinite and equal amount of gametes. The subsequent generation is a random draw of 2N gametes from this pool. In other words, the gene frequency in the next generation is composed of 2N draws from the gene frequency of the current generation. Mutations are randomly droppe...
متن کاملWright-Fisher Models, Approximations, and Minimum Increments of Evolution
Wright-Fisher models [1] are idealized models for genetic drift, the process by which the the population frequency of an allele varies with time stochastically, and, in particular, may disappear from the population entirely, or may fix in 100% of the population. Wright-Fisher models can be applied to the dynamics of neutral (or nearly neutral) mutations – the vastly dominating case, as emphasiz...
متن کاملStatistical Inference in the Wright–Fisher Model Using Allele Frequency Data
The Wright–Fisher model provides an elegant mathematical framework for understanding allele frequency data. In particular, the model can be used to infer the demographic history of species and identify loci under selection. A crucial quantity for inference under the Wright–Fisher model is the distribution of allele frequencies (DAF). Despite the apparent simplicity of the model, the calculation...
