Fixation when N and s vary: Classic approaches give elegant new results

Abstract

In this commentary, GENETICS' Associate Editor Lindi Wahl examines R. A. Fisher's 1922 paper "On the dominance ratio" in light of two modern responses to the question of allele fixation probabilities. The two articles that Wahl discusses are published in this month's GENETICS. © 2011 by the Genetics Society of America.
