Distinguishing migration from isolation using the variance of pairwise differences.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Jun 1996

Wakeley J

Abstract excerpt

Two demographic scenarios are considered: two populations with migration and two populations that have been completely isolated from each other for some period of time. The variance of the number of differences between pairs of sequences in a single sample is studied and forms the basis of a test of the isolation model. The migration model is one possible alternative to isolation. The isolation model is rejected...
