Inferences of species phylogeny in relation to segregation of ancient polymorphisms.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1991

Wu C I

Abstract excerpt

Standard formulas of gene frequency change under genetic drift are used to derive the probability of obtaining incorrect phylogenetic information for three species due to segregation of ancient polymorphisms. This probability depends upon the level of polymorphisms at the time of speciation and is generally quite high unless the two speciation events are far apart in time. If phylogenetic data from multiple loci...
