The deterministic selection-recombination equation describes the evolution of the genetic type composition of a population under the evolutionary forces of selection and recombination in a law of large numbers regime. So far, only the special case of three sites with selection acting on one of them has been treated, but only approximately and without any obvious pathway towards generalisations. In this contribution, we use a probabilistic, genealogical approach for the case of an \emph…

A probabilistic view on the deterministic mutation–selection equation: dynamics, equilibria, and ancestry via individual lines of descent
• Mathematics
Journal of mathematical biology
• 2018
The deterministic haploid mutation–selection equation with two types is reconsidered and ancestral structures inherent in this deterministic model are established, including the pruned lookdown ancestral selection graph and an alternative characterisation in terms of a piecewise-deterministic Markov process.
Ancestral Processes with Selection
• Mathematics
Theoretical population biology
• 1997
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.
Lines of Descent Under Selection

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
Fixation Probability in a Two-Locus Model by the Ancestral Recombination–Selection Graph
• Biology
Genetics
• 2012
The ancestral influence graph is used for a two-locus, two-allele selection model in the limit of a large population size to obtain an analytic approximation for the probability of ultimate fixation of a single mutant allele A and it is shown that the fixation probability increases as the recombination rate increases and is true from weak negative epistasis to positive epistasis, at least under weak selection.
Partitioning, duality, and linkage disequilibria in the Moran model with recombination
• Mathematics
Journal of mathematical biology

It is proved that the partitioning process (backward in time) is dual to the Moran population process (forward in time), where the sampling function plays the role of the duality function.
The common ancestor type distribution of a $\Lambda$-Wright-Fisher process with selection and mutation
• Mathematics
• 2016
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.
Genealogical processes for Fleming-Viot models with selection and recombination

Infinite population genetic models with general type space incorporating mutation, selection and recombination are considered. The Fleming– Viot measure-valued diffusion is represented in terms of a

Probabilistic Structures in Evolution

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.
A MODEL OF A GENETIC SYSTEM WHICH LEADS TO CLOSER LINKAGE BY NATURAL SELECTION
A specific model in which selection leads to closer linkage will be examined, and the reversal of selective value of alleles at one locus according to which allele is present at another is not sufficient to maintain a stable polymorphism.
