Distribution of the amount of genetic material from a chromosomal segment surviving to the following generation. (English) Zbl 1053.62124
Summary: A method is provided for numerical evaluation, with any given accuracy, of the probability that at least $$p\,\%$$ of the genetic material from an individual’s chromosomal segment survives to the next generation. Relevant MAPLE$$^\circledR$$ V codes, for automated implementation of such evaluation, are also provided. The genomic continuum model, with Haldane’s model for the crossover process, is assumed.
