The distribution of the number of mutations in the genealogy of a sample from a single population.

Abstract excerpt

The number K of mutations in the genealogy of a sample of n sequences from a single population is one essential summary statistic in molecular population genetics and is equal to the number of segregating sites in the sample under the infinite-sites model. Although its expectation and variance are the most widely utilized properties, its sampling formula (i.e., probability distribution) is the foundation for all...
