The allele frequency represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population. Alleles are variant forms of a gene that are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.

Aa Aa Aa Natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow are the mechanisms that cause changes in allele frequencies over time. When one or more of these forces are acting in a population ...

In this paper, a gene is categorized to be monoallelically expressed, if only one allele is expressed in a nonzero proportion of cells. Gene categorization is carried out through the empirical Bayes ...
