The Quasispecies for the Wright–Fisher Model
Résumé
We consider the classical Wright-Fisher model of population genetics. We prove the existence of an error threshold for the mutation probability per nucleotide, below which a quasispecies is formed. We show a new phenomenon, specific to a finite population model, namely the existence of a population threshold: to ensure the stability of the quasispecies, the population size has to be at least of the same order as the genome length. We derive an explicit formula describing the quasispecies.
