Probability measure valued diffusion processes have been discussed by many authors, in connection with population genetics. Most papers studying probability measure valued diffusions are mainly concerned with the ones describing single locus models. In this paper, we will discuss a measure valued diffusion describing an n locus model. Random sampling, mutation and gene conversion, a kind of interaction between loci, which was introduced and investigated by T. Ohta in [5], [6], will be taken into consideration.
