Inference of population history using a likelihood approach.
Genetics - 1 Jul 1998
Weiss G, von Haeseler A
Abstract excerpt
We introduce an approach to revealing the likelihood of different population histories that utilizes an explicit model of sequence evolution for the DNA segment under study. Based on a phylogenetic tree reconstruction method we show that a Tamura-Nei model with heterogeneous mutation rates is a f...
