Abstract
BIO-Complexity 2020(4):1-6 In the context of population genetics, active information can be extended to
measure the change of information of a given event (e.g., fixation of an
allele) from a neutral model in which only genetic drift is taken into account
to a non-neutral model that includes other sources of frequency variation
(e.g., selection and mutation). In this paper we illustrate active information
in population genetics through the Wright-Fisher model.
