The coalescent process and background selection.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Jul 1995

Hudson R R, Kaplan N L

Abstract excerpt

Some statistical properties of gene trees are described for a model with background deleterious mutations. It is argued that the history of a small sample of genes under this model is a continuous time Markov chain that quickly reaches stationarity. This observation leads to simple expressions for the expected nucleotide diversity and suggests that the frequency spectrum in small samples should be approximately...
