Power of neutrality tests to detect bottlenecks and hitchhiking.

Abstract excerpt

The power of several neutrality tests to reject a simple bottleneck model is examined in a coalescent framework. Several tests are considered including some relying on the frequency spectrum of mutations and some reflecting the linkage disequilibrium structure of the data. We evaluate the effect of the age and of the strength of the bottleneck, and their interaction. We contrast two qualitatively different...
