- Title
Genetic variability and neutral mutations: a commentary on ?Genetic variability maintained in a finite population due to mutational production of neutral and nearly neutral isoalleles? by Motoo Kimura.
- Authors
GESSLER, DAMIAN D. G.
- Abstract
The author comments on the report "Genetic variability maintained in a finite population due to mutational production of neutral and nearly neutral isoalleles," by Motoo Kimura. He points out that Kimura's work on neutral isoalleles contributed to the confusion on the issue of genetic variation. A discussion on the diffusion modelling used by Kimura to analyse the relative forces of drift and mutation is given in addition to the estimation of the effective number of alleles.
