Sampling probabilities, diffusions, ancestral graphs, and duality under strong selection

M Favero, PA Jenkins - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.17406, 2023 - arxiv.org
Wright-Fisher diffusions and their dual ancestral graphs occupy a central role in the study of
allele frequency change and genealogical structure, and they provide expressions, explicit …

A Wright-Fisher graph model and the impact of directional selection on genetic variation

I Kaj, CF Mugal, R Müller - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.07542, 2023 - arxiv.org
We introduce a multi-allele Wright-Fisher model with non-recurrent, reversible mutation and
directional selection. In this setting, the allele frequencies at a single locus track the path of a …

[PDF][PDF] Convergence of Bayesian estimators for diffusions in genetics

J Sant, PA Jenkins, J Koskela… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - researchgate.net
A number of discrete time, finite population size models in genetics describing the dynamics
of allele frequencies are known to converge (subject to suitable scaling) to a diffusion …

The effective strength of selection in random environment

AG Casanova, D Spanò, M Wilke-Berenguer - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
We analyse a family of two-types Wright-Fisher models with selection in a random
environment and skewed offspring distribution. We provide a calculable criterion to quantify …

[PDF][PDF] The stationary distribution of a Wright-Fisher diffusion model with general small mutation rates

CJ Burden, RC Griffiths - arXiv preprint arXiv:1802.07875, 2018 - arxiv.org
The stationary distribution of a sample taken from a Wright-Fisher diffusion with general
small mutation rates is found using a coalescent approach. The approximation is equivalent …

The common ancestor process for a Wright-Fisher diffusion

J Taylor - 2007 - projecteuclid.org
Rates of molecular evolution along phylogenetic trees are influenced by mutation, selection
and genetic drift. Provided that the branches of the tree correspond to lineages belonging to …

Small time approximation in Wright-Fisher diffusion

T Roa, MI Fariello, G Martínez, J León - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.11442, 2022 - arxiv.org
Wright-Fisher model has been widely used to represent random variation in allele frequency
over time, due to its simple form even though, a closed analytical form for the allele …

Inference under a Wright-Fisher model using an accurate beta approximation

P Tataru, T Bataillon, A Hobolth - Genetics, 2015 - academic.oup.com
The large amount and high quality of genomic data available today enable, in principle,
accurate inference of evolutionary histories of observed populations. The Wright-Fisher …

An approximate stationary solution for multi-allele neutral diffusion with low mutation rates

CJ Burden, Y Tang - Theoretical population biology, 2016 - Elsevier
We address the problem of determining the stationary distribution of the multi-allelic, neutral-
evolution Wright–Fisher model in the diffusion limit. A full solution to this problem for an …
