Identifying Single-Origin Rare Variants in Population Genomic Data.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic analyses have shown that some mutations in large population genomic datasets may be the result of repeated, independent events at the same locus. However, the possibility of recurrent mutation is often ignored, even when it has the potential to introduce errors, such as when assuming co-ancestry for demographic analysis. Even rare variants such as doubletons, which should be particularly informative about...
