A population model with non-neutral mutations using branching processes with immigration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a stationary continuous model of random size population with non-neutral mutations using a continuous state branching process with non-homogeneous immigration. We assume the type (or mutation) of the immigrants is random given by a constant mutation rate measure. We determine some genealogical properties of this process such as: distribution of the time to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA), bottleneck effect at the time to the MRCA (which might be drastic for some mutation rate measures), favorable type for the MRCA, asymptotics of the number of ancestors.

Changing the branching mechanism of a continuous state branching process using immigration
We construct a continuous state branching process with immigration (CBI) whose immigration depends on the CBI itself and we recover a continuous state branching process (CB). This provides a dual construction of the pruning at nodes of CB introduced by the authors in a previous paper [1]. This construction is a natural way to model neutral mutation. Using exponential formula, we compute the pro...
متن کاملLimit theorems for supercritical age-dependent branching processes with neutral immigration
We consider a branching process with Poissonian immigration where individuals have inheritable types. At rate θ, new individuals singly enter the total population and start a new population which evolves like a supercritical, homogeneous, binary Crump-Mode-Jagers process: individuals have i.i.d. lifetimes durations (non necessarily exponential) during which they give birth independently at cons...
متن کاملWilliams’ Decomposition of the Lévy Continuum Random Tree and Simultaneous Extinction Probability for Populations with Neutral Mutations
We consider an initial Eve-population and a population of neutral mutants, such that the total population dies out in finite time. We describe the evolution of the Eve-population and the total population with continuous state branching processes, and the neutral mutation procedure can be seen as an immigration process with intensity proportional to the size of the population. First we establish...

متن کاملLimit Theorems for Supercritical Markov Branching Processes with Non-homogeneous Poisson Immigration
This paper deals with Markov branching processes allowing immigration at random time points described by a non-homogeneous Poisson process. This class of processes generalizes a classical model proposed by Sevastyanov, which included a time-homogeneous Poisson immigration. The proposed model finds applications in cell kinetics studies. Limit theorems are obtained in the supercritical case. Some...
