Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Calculator

Computes Hardy-Weinberg genotype frequencies from an allele frequency, or works allele frequencies back out from observed genotype counts.

Notes

  • p + q = 1 and p² + 2pq + q² = 1: the allele frequencies and the genotype frequencies each sum to one.
  • The equilibrium assumes a large population with random mating and no selection, mutation or migration; real deviations point to one of those forces.
