Demography and the age of rare variants.

PLoS genetics - 1 Aug 2014

Mathieson Iain, McVean Gil

Abstract excerpt

Large whole-genome sequencing projects have provided access to much rare variation in human populations, which is highly informative about population structure and recent demography. Here, we show how the age of rare variants can be estimated from patterns of haplotype sharing and how these ages can be related to historical relationships between populations. We investigate the distribution of the age of variants...
