Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a particular locus in a population, expressed as a...

Minor allele frequency (MAF) is the frequency at which the second most common allele occurs in a given population. They play a surprising role in heritability...

population genetics, the allele frequency spectrum, sometimes called the site frequency spectrum, is the distribution of the allele frequencies of a given set of...

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, model, theorem, or law, states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation...

allelic drift or the Wright effect, is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random chance. Genetic drift...

heterozygote with two different "A" alleles.) The frequency of alleles in a diploid population can be used to predict the frequencies of the corresponding genotypes...

quantified by the frequency of alleles. Two fundamental calculations are central to population genetics: allele frequencies and genotype frequencies. Genotype...

focuses only on the change in frequency of alleles within populations. The main processes influencing allele frequencies are natural selection, genetic...

DNA (alleles) at different positions on the chromosome (loci) in a given population based on a comparison between the frequency at which two alleles are...

The Allele Frequency Net Database (abbreviated AlFreD) is a database containing the allele frequencies of immune genes and their corresponding alleles in...

work described fitness as a function of allele frequencies. Here, each dimension describes an allele frequency at a different gene, and goes between 0...

the allele frequency in the case group is much higher than in the control group, the odds ratio is higher than 1, and vice versa for lower allele frequency...

subpopulations are in a Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium but have different allele frequencies, the overall heterozygosity is reduced compared to if the whole population...

the allele frequencies of HLA-I and HLA-II genes for the European population has been compiled. In both cases the distribution of allele frequencies reveals...

allele frequency to shift toward the chosen extreme over time as allele ratios change from generation to generation. The advantageous extreme allele will...

allele of the eye-color gene produces blue eyes and another allele of the eye-color gene produces brown eyes. allele frequency The relative frequency...

also called genetic draft or the hitchhiking effect, is when an allele changes frequency not because it itself is under natural selection, but because it...

population genetics, a fixed allele is an allele that is the only variant that exists for that gene in a population. A fixed allele is homozygous for all members...

Frequency-dependent selection can also lead to dynamical chaos when some individuals' fitnesses become very low at intermediate allele frequencies. The...

(TEN). The frequency of the HLA-B*5801 allele varies between ethnicities: Han Chinese and Thai populations have HLA-B*5801 allele frequencies of around...

Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies that occurs over time within a population. This change is due to four different processes: mutation...
