The coalescent with replication-independent mutations.

Abstract excerpt

We develop the mathematical structure of the neutral coalescent with both replication-dependent and replication-independent mutations. This allows us to explain and quantify empirical results that explore differences in genetic diversity in bacterial cultures with different growth rates. We also derive an unbiased and consistent estimator for the replication-independent mutation rate that is based on a comparison...
