Abstract excerpt
We describe a Markov chain Monte Carlo approach for assessing the role of site-to-site rate variation in the analysis of within-population samples of DNA sequences using the coalescent. Our framework is a Bayesian one. We discuss methods for assessing the goodness-of-fit of these models, as well as problems concerning the separate estimation of effective population size and mutation rate. Using a mitochondrial...
