Uniqueness of polymorphism for a discrete, selection-migration model with genetic dominance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The migration into a natural population of a controlled population, e.g., a transgenic population, is studied using a one island selection-migration model. A 2-dimensional system of nonlinear difference equations describes changes in allele frequency and population size between generations. Biologically reasonable conditions are obtained which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of a polymorphic equilibrium in the cases of complete dominance and no dominance in fitness. This model may provide some useful information about the migration of transgenes into a natural population. §

Dynamical behaviour of a discrete selection-migration model with arbitrary dominance
To study the effects of immigration of genes (possibly transgenic) into a natural population, a one-island selection-migration model with density-dependent regulation is used to track allele frequency and population size. The existence and uniqueness of a polymorphic genetic equilibrium is proved under a general assumption about dominance in fitnesses. Also, conditions are found which guarantee...
متن کاملBalanced Polymorphisms and the Evolution of Dominance.
We explore the evolution of dominance at polymorphisms maintained either by overdominant selection or by migration-selection balance. At such balanced polymorphisms, heterozygotes remain at appreciable frequencies over long periods of time, allowing extensive modification of dominance to occur. The strength of selection favoring a modifier of dominance is roughly proportional to the probability...

متن کاملMultilocus selection in subdivided populations II. Maintenance of polymorphism under weak or strong migration.
The potential of maintaining multilocus polymorphism by migration-selection balance is studied. A large population of diploid individuals is distributed over finitely many demes connected by migration. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping, selection may vary across demes, and loci are multiallelic. It is shown that if migration and recombination are strong relative to selection, then wit...
متن کاملA Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Truss Structures with Discrete Variables
A new hybrid algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) is presented to get the optimum design of truss structures with discrete design variables. The objective function chosen in this paper is the total weight of the truss structure, which depends on upper and lower bounds in the form of stress and displacement limits. The Particle Swarm Optimization basically model...
