title: [The impact of population dynamics on Y-chromosome microsatellite Polymorphism. Mathematical modeling].
abstract: In this article, we use mathematical modeling to study the impact of population dynamics on Y-chromosome STR-polymorphism accumulation in two independently evolving populations, namely, on the changes in genetic distance among the populations. Using two definitions of the genetic distance: (deltamu)2 and ASD, we carry out comparative research on the genetic distance changes and show that in contrast to (deltamu)2, ASD is characterized by a near-linear dependence on time. As the populations undergo oscillations, ASD is shown to be smaller than that in stationary populations. The linear dependence of ASD on time is shown to break down in relatively scanty stationary populations.
