Genealogical trees from genetic distances
Abstract In a population with haploid reproduction any individual has a single parent in the previous generation. If all genealogical distances among pairs of individuals (generations from the closest common ancestor) are known it is possible to exactly reconstruct their genealogical tree. Unfortunately, in most cases, genealogical distances are unknown and only genetic distances are available....
متن کاملCoalescents and genealogical structure under neutrality.
Genealogical or coalescent methods have proved very useful in interpreting and understanding a wide range of population genetic data. Our aim is to illustrate some of the central ideas behind this approach. The primary focus is genealogy in neutral genetic models, for which the effects of demography can be separated from those of mutation. We describe the coalescent for panmictic populations of...
متن کاملFinite populations with frequency-dependent selection: a genealogical approach
Evolutionary models for populations of constant size are frequently studied using the Moran model, the Wright–Fisher model, or their diffusion limits. When evolution is neutral, a random genealogy given through Kingman's coalescent is used in order to understand basic properties of such models. Here, we address the use of a genealogical perspective for models with weak frequency-dependent selec...
متن کاملHow Good are Typological Distances for Determining Genealogical Relationships among Languages?
The recent availability of typological databases such as World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS) has spurred investigations regarding their utility for language classification, the stability of typological features in genetic linguistics and typological universals across the language families of the world. Existing work on building NLP resources such as parallel corpora, treebanks for under-r...
متن کاملComputation and Comparison of Genealogical Sorting Indexes Genealogical Sorting Indexes
The concept of Genealogical Sorting Indexes (GSIs) was first introduced by Cummings et al. [1]. Given a set of observations belonging to different groups (represented in the form of a hierarchial tree), the Genealogical Sorting Index (GSI) value obtained for a particular group provides a quantitative measure of how closely the observations belonging to this group have clustered in the given tre...
