Frequency spectrum neutrality tests: one for all and all for one.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2009

Achaz Guillaume

Abstract excerpt

Neutrality tests based on the frequency spectrum (e.g., Tajima's D or Fu and Li's F) are commonly used by population geneticists as routine tests to assess the goodness-of-fit of the standard neutral model on their data sets. Here, I show that these neutrality tests are specific instances of a general model that encompasses them all. I illustrate how this general framework can be taken advantage of to devise new...
