- Mutation can maintain a deleterious allele in the population against the effects of selection, such that:

IV. Selection and Other Factors

A. Mutation

- Mutation can maintain a deleterious allele in the population against the effects of selection, such that:

q(eq) = √(m/s)

IV. Selection and Other Factors

A. Mutation

- Mutation can maintain a deleterious allele in the population against the effects of selection, such that:

q(eq) = √(m/s)

- more deleterious alleles are maintained if m increases, or if selection differential declines... this should make sense.

B. Drift and "Adaptive Landscapes"

1. Single Loci

- consider a locus with selection against the heterozygote

p = 0.4, q = 0.6 AA Aa aa

Parental "zygotes" 0.16 0.48 0.36 = 1.00

prob. of survival (fitness) 0.8 0.4 0.6

Relative Fitness 1 0.5 0.75

Corrected Fitness 1 + 0.5 1.0 1 + 0.25

formulae 1 + s 1 + t

peq = t/(s + t) = .25/.75 = 0.33

- if this is a large pop with no drift, the population will become fixed on the 'suboptimal' peak, (p = 0, q = 1.0, w = 0.75).

- so, the interactions between drift and selection are necessary for a population to find the optimal adaptive peak... think about this in the context of peripatric speciation.... THINK HARD about this...

In other words, there are often epistatic interactions between loci...the value of an allele may depend on the genotype at other loci- For example, suppose 'A' and 'B' each contribute a unit of growth, and suppose there is selection for intermediate size.

In other words, there are often epistatic interactions between loci ...the value of an allele may depend on the genotype at other loci- For example, suppose 'A' and 'B' each contribute a unit of growth, and suppose there is selection for intermediate size.- There will be three adaptive genotypes: AAbb, AaBb, and aaBB that each have two alleles for growth (0,1,3, and 4 create larger and smaller organisms that are at a selection disadvantage in this example).

Well, it depends on what's happening at "B".

III. Modelling Effects at Multiple Loci

A. The Complex Phenotype B. "Linkage" Equilibrium

1. A two-Locus Equilibrium Model

- In essence, this becomes the equilibrium model for two loci; when a population reaches linkage equilibrium, the frequency of haplotypes will be equal to the product of the independent gene frequencies….

III. Modelling Effects at Multiple Loci

A. The Complex Phenotype B. "Linkage" Equilibrium

1. A two-Locus Equilibrium Model

- In essence, this becomes our equilibrium model for two loci.

- TWO LOCI, EVEN IF THEY ARE CLOSELY LINKED, WILL CROSS-OVER OCCASIONALLY. OVER TIME, EVEN WITH CLOSELY LINKED GENES, THE FREQUENCIES OF HAPLOTYPES WILL REACH THE ‘EQUILIBRIUM’ VALUES (ACTING LIKE THEY ASSORT INDEPENDENTLY) IF PANMIXIA OCCURS.

III. Modelling Effects at Multiple Loci

A. The Complex Phenotype B. "Linkage" Equilibrium

1. A two-Locus Equilibrium Model

- In essence, this becomes our HWE model for two loci.

- TWO LOCI, EVEN IF THEY ARE CLOSELY LINKED, WILL CROSS-OVER OCCASIONALLY. OVER TIME, EVEN WITH CLOSELY LINKED GENES, THE FREQUENCIES OF HAPLOTYPES WILL REACH EQUILIBRIUM IF PANMIXIA OCCURS.

- So, recombination drives a population towards equilibrium. The rate depends on the distance between loci. (Neighboring loci take longer to equilibrate because less crossing over occurs each generation).

- Linkage DISequilibrium is measured as "D"

D = ad - bc. If D = 0, the pop is in equilibrium. If D is not zero, then D becomes a measure of deviation from the equilibrium.

So, fitness at t locus depends on the fitness at the C locus. If CC is advantageous, then TT is, too. If cc is advantageous, then TT is NOT. So, fitness at T depends on fitness at C.

If allelic effects are multiplicative or additive (like the size example), then the system will proceed to equilibrium.

Curiously, selection will only create linkage disequilibrium if the alleles act "epistatically".

If allelic effects are multiplicative or additive (like the size example), then the system will proceed to equilibrium.

In the case of size, it goes to fixation for AAbb or aaBB, each of which is ad - bc = 0 = linkage equilibrium. So selection, in this case, does NOT create a disequilibrium.

In the case of size, if goes to fixation for AAbb or aaBB, each of which is ad - bc = 0 = linkage equilibrium. So selection, in this case, does NOT create a disequilibrium.

For example, if the population fixes at AAbb:

Expected Observed

a = p1*p2 0.0 0

b = p1*q2 1.0 1.0

c = q1*p2 0.0 0

d = q1*q2 0.0 0

f(A) = p1 = 1.0

f(a) = q1 = 0.0

f(B) = p2 = 0.0

f(b) = q2 = 1.0

D = ad - bc = 0 - 0 = 0.... in equilibrium

B. "Linkage" Equilibrium1. A two-Locus Equilibrium Model2. Deviations from "Linkage" Equilibrium3. Causes of Linkage Disequilibrium4. Effects

- Hitchhiking - selection at one locus can drive changes in linked genes before recombination eliminates disequilibrium. This can work to prevent the acquisition of advantageous alleles at a locus if it is closely linked to a deleterious allele at a second locus. However, this effect declines as the distance between genes (and thus the rate of recombination) increases.

- By examining whether an allele is in disequ with a neutral marker, we can draw inferences about its selective value. For example, if an allele is in disequ, we can infer it is relatively new (or recombination would have reduced the disequ), or it is probably of selective value.

OK!!!
