Conditional ancestral times and related properties of an extant mutant at a locus A given the number of segregating sites observed at a linked locus B.

Abstract excerpt

It is shown how the mean ancestral times at one locus are affected in a two- locus model with recombination when information is given regarding the number of segregating sites at another locus. For samples of n genes, recursive equations are derived that describe precisely the evolution of the time-depth of such a linked genealogy. Exact numerical solutions and Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations are discussed...
