Abstract
general formalism is described which allows the study of a wide range of stochastic problems related to evolution. We apply it to the treatm ent of the evolution of a finite population in the presence of mutatio ns aid selective advantage. The results are close to those of Eigen an d Schuster's error threshold model, in the presence of randomly drawn sterile sequences. The theoretical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.
