Abstract excerpt
Multiple hits at some sites of human mitochondrial DNA sequences suggest that the commonly assumed infinite-sites model can be violated. Under the neutral Wright-Fisher model without recombination and population subdivision, we investigated, by computer simulations, the effect of multiple hits on the estimation of the essential parameter theta = 4Nmu by FU's UPBLUE procedure. We found that with moderate mutation...
