Inference of super-exponential human population growth via efficient computation of the site frequency spectrum for generalized models

2015-07-15

Abstract excerpt

The site frequency spectrum (SFS) and other genetic summary statistics are at the heart of many population genetics studies. Previous studies have shown that human populations had undergone a recent epoch of fast growth in effective population size. These studies assumed that growth is exponential, and the ensuing models leave unexplained excess amount of extremely rare variants. This suggests that human populatio...
