The variance effective population size N _ e ^ { ( v ) } is defined as the size of an idealized population with the same variance.
42.
The effective population size of these isolated populations is quite small, indicating that genetic drift explained by the founder effect is the cause of these atypically high rates.
43.
As a result, he wrote, " the effective population size of the founders of the current Ashkenazim may have been as low as a few thousand individuals ."
44.
The magnitude of drift is large enough to overwhelm selection at any allele frequency when the selection coefficient is less than 1 divided by the effective population size.
45.
In the study by Herrera, cluster analysis was employed to ascertain relative gene flow and / or differences in effective population size among the four groups of Maya.
46.
In both cases, the time to fixation is dominated by mutation via the term 1 / " m ", and is less affected by the effective population size.
47.
The extent of proofreading in other molecular processes can depend on the effective population size of the species and the number of genes affected by the same proofreading mechanism.
48.
It is suspected that the effective population size could be fewer than 2, 500 mature individuals, with no subpopulation having an effective population size larger than 250 adult individuals.
49.
The mathematics of genetic drift depend on the effective population size, but it is not clear how this is related to the actual number of individuals in a population.
50.
It is suspected that the effective population size could be fewer than 2, 500 mature individuals, with no subpopulation having an effective population size larger than 250 adult individuals.
