Infinite Alleles Model: IAM each mutation Kimura (1969, 1971): Infinite Sites
produces a new allele: Model (ISM)
Each mutation occurs in a different site
Heterozygosity = 4Nv / (4Nv +1) in the sequence, adequate for DNA.
H= 0.12 and v= 1.5 x 10 -5 (Drosophila)
k= substitution rate = 2Nvu
a Ne of 2,300 can maintain the

H=0.35 would need a Ne of 9,000. N= effective population size
