Abstract excerpt
Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) causes the phylogeny of some parts of the genome to differ from the species tree. In this work, we investigate the frequencies and determinants of ILS in 29 major ancestral nodes across the entire primate phylogeny. We find up to 64% of the genome affected by ILS at individual nodes. We exploit ILS to reconstruct speciation times and ancestral population sizes. Estimated...
