Subdivision in an ancestral species creates asymmetry in gene trees.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2008

Slatkin Montgomery, Pollack Joshua L

Abstract excerpt

We consider gene trees in three species for which the species tree is known. We show that population subdivision in ancestral species can lead to asymmetry in the frequencies of the two gene trees not concordant with the species tree and, if subdivision is extreme, cause the one of the nonconcord...
