  2. Mutation rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_rate

    The human germline mutation rate is approximately 0.5×10 −9 per basepair per year. [1] In genetics, the mutation rate is the frequency of new mutations in a single gene, nucleotide sequence, or organism over time. [2] Mutation rates are not constant and are not limited to a single type of mutation; there are many different types of mutations.

    Mutation rate Links DYS19=14 see DYS394 — — — — DYS385 DYS385 is a multi-copy marker, and includes DYS385a and DYS385b. The order of DYS385a and DYS385b may be reversed, their sequence is referred to as the Kittler order. GAAA 13-18 0.00226 NIST fact sheet: DYS388 ATT 17 0.00022 [5] DYS389

  4. Mutation frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_frequency

    Mutation frequencies test are cost effective in laboratories [1] however; these two concepts provide vital information in reference to accounting for the emergence of mutations on any given germ line. [2] [3] There are several test utilized in measuring the chances of mutation frequency and rates occurring in a particular gene pool.

  5. Infinite sites model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_sites_model

    Where k is the length of a DNA sequence and is the probability a mutation will occur at a site. [5] Watterson developed an estimator for mutation rate that incorporates the number of segregating sites (Watterson's estimator). [6] One way to think of the ISM is in how it applies to genome evolution.

  6. Mutation–selection balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation–selection_balance

    The frequency = + of normal alleles A increases at rate / due to the selective elimination of recessive homozygotes, while mutation causes to decrease at rate (ignoring back mutations). Mutation–selection balance then gives p B B = μ / s {\displaystyle p_{BB}=\mu /s} , and so the frequency of deleterious alleles is q = μ / s {\displaystyle ...

  7. Allele frequency spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele_frequency_spectrum

    The allele frequency spectrum can be written as the vector = (,,,,), where is the number of observed sites with derived allele frequency . In this example, the observed allele frequency spectrum is ( 4 , 2 , 1 , 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle (4,2,1,0,1)} , due to four instances of a single observed derived allele at a particular SNP loci, two ...

  8. Models of DNA evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_DNA_evolution

    There are several assumptions. It assumes equal base frequencies (= = = =) and equal mutation rates. The only parameter of this model is therefore , the overall substitution rate. As previously mentioned, this variable becomes a constant when we normalize the mean-rate to 1.

  9. Muller's ratchet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller's_ratchet

    where, is the number of individual carrying mutations, is the population size, is the mutation rate and is the selection coefficient. Thus, the frequency of the individuals of the fittest class ( k = 0 {\displaystyle k=0} ) is:
