Genotype by random environmental interactions gives an advantage to non-favored minor alleles

Abstract Fixation probability, the probability that the frequency of a newly arising mutation in a population will eventually reach unity, is a fundamental quantity in evolutionary genetics. Here we use a number of models (several versions of the Moran model and the haploid Wright-Fisher model) to e...
