On the limiting diffusion of special diploid model in population genetics

Won Choi

University of Incheon

Abstract

In this note, we characterize the limiting diffusion of a diploid model by defining the discrete generator for the rescaled Markov chain. We conclude that this limiting diffusion model is with uncountable state space and mutation selection and special "mutation or gene conversion rate".

Keywords: diploid model, martingale problem, mutation or gene conversion rate, mutation selection, discrete generator for the rescaled Markov chain, limiting diffusion
