	abstract = {We consider a model of a population of fixed size $N$ in which each individual gets replaced at rate one and each individual experiences a mutation at rate $\mu$.  We calculate the asymptotic distribution of the time that it takes before there is an individual in the population with $m$ mutations.  Several different behaviors are possible, depending on how μ changes with $N$.  These results have applications to the problem of determining the waiting time for regulatory sequences to appear and to models of cancer development.},
