We review recent progress on ancestral processes related to mutation-selection models, both in the deterministic and the stochastic setting. We mainly rely on two concepts, namely, the killed ancestral selection graph and the pruned lookdown ancestral selection graph. The killed ancestral selection graph gives a representation of the type of a random individual from a stationary population, based upon the individual’s potential ancestry back until the mutations that define the individual’s type…

Lines of descent in a Moran model with frequency-dependent selection and mutation
We consider the two-type Moran model with frequency-dependent selection and two-way mutation, where selection follows either the nonlinear dominance or the fittest-type-wins scheme, which will turn…

Moran model and Wright-Fisher diffusion with selection and mutation in a one-sided random environment
Consider a two-type Moran population of size $N$ subject to selection and mutation, which is immersed in a varying environment. The population is susceptible to exceptional changes in the…
Microbial populations under selection
TLDR
A model of a host-pathogen system where the population of pathogenes experiences balancing selection, migration, and mutation, as motivated by observations of the genetic diversity of HCMV (the human cytomegalovirus) across hosts is described.
Solving the selection-recombination equation: Ancestral lines under selection and recombination
TLDR
This contribution uses a probabilistic, genealogical approach for the case of an \emph{arbitrary} number of neutral sites that are linked to one selected site to obtain a stochastic representation of the deterministic solution, along with the Markov semigroup in closed form.
Lines of descent in the deterministic mutation-selection model with pairwise interaction
TLDR
With the help of the stratified ancestral selection graph, the mutation-selection differential equation with pairwise interaction is considered and results about the ancestral type distribution in the case of unidirectional mutation are obtained.
Ancestral lines under recombination
TLDR
With the help of an ancestral partitioning process, which is obtained by letting population size tend to infinity (without rescaling parameters or time) in an ancestral recombination graph, the solution to the recombination equation is obtained in a transparent form.
Wright-Fisher processes with selection and mutation in a random environment
Consider a bi-allelic population subject to neutral reproduction, genic selection and mutation, which is susceptible to exceptional changes in the environment. Neutral reproductions are modeled as in…

The common ancestor type distribution of a Λ -Wright-Fisher process with selection and mutation

Ancestral Processes with Selection
TLDR
The main goal is to analyze the ancestral selection graph and to compare it to Kingman's coalescent process; it is found that the distribution of the time to the most recent common ancestor does not depend on the selection coefficient and hence is the same as in the neutral case.
Mutation, selection, and ancestry in branching models: a variational approach
TLDR
The quasispecies model of sequence evolution with mutation coupled to reproduction but independent across sites, and a fitness function that is invariant under permutation of sites is used, and the fitness of letter compositions is worked out explicitly.
The common ancestor type distribution of a $\Lambda$-Wright-Fisher process with selection and mutation
TLDR
A strong pathwise Siegmund dual is identified of the ancestor in a two-type Wright-Fisher population with mutation and selection, conditional on the overall type frequency in the old population, and the equilibrium tail probabilities of $L$ are characterised in terms of hitting probabilities of the dual process.
The Common Ancestor Process for a Wright-Fisher Diffusion
TLDR
This work describes the process of substitutions to the common ancestor of each population using the structured coalescent process introduced by Kaplan et al. (1988), and shows that the theory can be formally extended to diffusion models with more than two genetic backgrounds, but that it leads to systems of singular partial differential equations which it is unable to solve.
