Journal ArticleDOI
The bottleneck effect and genetic variability in populations
TL;DR: In a population of constant size the expected heterozygosity for a neutral locus when mutation and genetic drift are balanced is given by 4 Nv/(4Nv + 1) under the assumption that new mutations are always different from the pre-existing alleles in the population.

Genetic variability maintained by mutation and overdominant selection in finite populations.
Takeo Maruyama,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that overdominant selection is very powerful in increasing the mean heterozygosity as compared with neutral mutations, and if 2Ns is larger than 10, a very low mutation rate is sufficient to explain the observed level of allozyme polymorphism.
