A small noise approximation for Muller's Ratchet
Carola Sophia Heinzel, Peter Pfaffelhuber, Anton Wakolbinger
We consider an infinite system of SDEs with Fleming-Viot noise indexed by , whose parameters , and are the (deleterious) selection coefficient, the (uni-dir…
Logarithmic scaling of selective sweep curves: from tents to houses
Florin Boenkost, Felix Hermann, András Tóbiás +1
One of the classical results of mathematical population genetics states that the frequency of a beneficial mutant's offspring, on its way to fixation in a large population, looks l…
Fixation probabilities and hitting times under low levels of frequency-dependent selection
Peter Pfaffelhuber, Anton Wakolbinger
In population genetics, diffusions on the unit interval are often used to model the frequency path of an allele. In this setting we derive approximations for fixation probabilities…
Muller's ratchet with compensatory mutations
P. Pfaffelhuber, P. R. Staab, A. Wakolbinger
We consider an infinite-dimensional system of stochastic differential equations describing the evolution of type frequencies in a large population. The type of an individual is the…
An approximate sampling formula under genetic hitchhiking
Alison Etheridge, Peter Pfaffelhuber, Anton Wakolbinger
For a genetic locus carrying a strongly beneficial allele which has just fixed in a large population, we study the ancestry at a linked neutral locus. During this ``selective sweep…
