Extending coalescent theory to autotetraploids.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2012

Arnold B, Bomblies K, Wakeley J

Abstract excerpt

We develop coalescent models for autotetraploid species with tetrasomic inheritance. We show that the ancestral genetic process in a large population without recombination may be approximated using Kingman's standard coalescent, with a coalescent effective population size 4N. Numerical results suggest that this approximation is accurate for population sizes on the order of hundreds of individuals. Therefore,...
