Estimating the time to the most recent common ancestor for the Y chromosome or mitochondrial DNA for a pair of individuals.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2001

Walsh B

Abstract excerpt

Bayesian posterior distributions are obtained for the time to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for a nonrecombining segment of DNA (such as the nonpseudoautosomal arm of the Y chromosome or the mitochondrial genome) for two individuals given that they match at k out of n scored markers. We argue that the distribution of the time t to the MRCA is the most natural measure of relatedness for such...
