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 کاملInferring population history from genealogical trees.
Inference about population history from DNA sequence data has become increasingly popular. For human populations, questions about whether a population has been expanding and when expansion began are often the focus of attention. For viral populations, questions about the epidemiological history of a virus, e.g., HIV-1 and Hepatitis C, are often of interest. In this paper I address the following...
متن کاملGenetic distances and reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from microsatellite DNA.
Recently many investigators have used microsatellite DNA loci for studying the evolutionary relationships of closely related populations or species, and some authors proposed new genetic distance measures for this purpose. However, the efficiencies of these distance measures in obtaining the correct tree topology remains unclear. We therefore investigated the probability of obtaining the correc...
متن کاملPostprocessing of genealogical trees.
We consider inference for demographic models and parameters based upon postprocessing the output of an MCMC method that generates samples of genealogical trees (from the posterior distribution for a specific prior distribution of the genealogy). This approach has the advantage of taking account of the uncertainty in the inference for the tree when making inferences about the demographic model a...
