Coalescent processes when the distribution of offspring number among individuals is highly skewed.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2006

Eldon Bjarki, Wakeley John

Abstract excerpt

We report a complex set of scaling relationships between mutation and reproduction in a simple model of a population. These follow from a consideration of patterns of genetic diversity in a sample of DNA sequences. Five different possible limit processes, each with a different scaled mutation parameter, can be used to describe genetic diversity in a large population. Only one of these corresponds to the usual...
