Genetic Drift for a lung gas exchange
Built for researchers prototyping or validating an idea. Prototype fast, reproduce exactly, and share a citable, interactive version of your model. Simulate a lung gas exchange live below — adjust the inputs and watch it respond, right in your browser.
Genetic Drift (Wright-Fisher)Live
chance changes allele frequencies
Controls
Presets
Even with no selection, allele frequencies wander purely by chance as each generation is randomly sampled from the last. In small populations this genetic drift is fast and alleles quickly fix or vanish; in large populations it is slow. Each colored line is an independent population starting from the same frequency.

Governing equation
Reading this result: Over many replicates the fraction that fix an allele converges on its starting frequency p₀=0.5 — drift is directionless, but the odds of fixation equal where you began.
