Effects of the population pedigree on genetic signatures of historical demographic events.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 19 Jul 2016

Wakeley John, King Léandra, Wilton Peter R

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation among loci in the genomes of diploid biparental organisms is the result of mutation and genetic transmission through the genealogy, or population pedigree, of the species. We explore the consequences of this for patterns of variation at unlinked loci for two kinds of demographic events: the occurrence of a very large family or a strong selective sweep that occurred in the recent past. The...
