Abstract excerpt
One challenge of analyzing samples of DNA sequences is to account for the nonnegligible polymorphisms produced by error when the sequencing error rate is high or the sample size is large. Specifically, those artificial sequence variations will bias the observed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency spectrum, which in turn may further bias the estimators of the population mutation rate theta =4N mu for...
