Ancestors' Genetic Weights in Biparental Populations

Explore a 41-minute lecture on the genetic composition of biparental populations presented by Camille Coron from the University of Paris-Saclay. Delve into the study of a bi-parental Moran model with a fixed number of individuals, examining how genetic contributions from ancestors are distributed in future generations. Learn about the convergence of genome proportions over time and the statistical behavior of ancestral weights as population size increases. Discover how the sequence of increasing ancestral weights, when properly scaled, converges to a specific function. Gain insights into the mathematical modeling of genetic inheritance in populations with two parents contributing equally to offspring genomes.
