Gene tree distributions under the coalescent process.
Under the coalescent model for population divergence, lineage sorting can cause considerable variability in gene trees generated from any given species tree. In this paper, we derive a method for computing the distribution of gene tree topologies given a bifurcating species tree for trees with an arbitrary number of taxa in the case that there is one gene sampled per species. Applications for g...
متن کاملRobustness of coalescent estimators to between-lineage mutation rate variation.
Data from HIV and from human neoplastic cells can show substantial between-lineage mutation rate variation even within a single population. Such variation may affect estimators of population quantities such as Theta = 4N(e)mu. Using simulated DNA data, I measured the effect of rate variation on recovery of Theta by the summary-statistic estimator of Watterson (Watterson GA. 1975. On the number ...
متن کاملCoalescent Processes with Skewed Offspring Distributions and Nonequilibrium Demography.
Nonequilibrium demography impacts coalescent genealogies leaving detectable, well-studied signatures of variation. However, similar genomic footprints are also expected under models of large reproductive skew, posing a serious problem when trying to make inference. Furthermore, current approaches consider only one of the two processes at a time, neglecting any genomic signal that could arise fr...

متن کاملInferring Past Effective Population Size from Distributions of Coalescent Times
Inferring and understanding changes in effective population size over time is a major challenge for population genetics. Here we investigate some theoretical properties of random-mating populations with varying size over time. In particular, we present an exact solution to compute the population size as a function of time, [Formula: see text], based on distributions of coalescent times of sampl...
