Abstract excerpt
The mean pairwise genetic distance among haplotypes is an estimator of the population mutation rate θ and a standard measure of variation in a population. With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods, this and other population parameters can be estimated under different modes of sampling. One approach is to sequence individual genomes with high coverage, and to calculate genetic distance over all...
