CHARON: Estimating the drift time and the number of individuals in environmental DNA with diploid individuals

2025-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a promising avenue for reconstructing the genetic diversity and demographic history of ancient populations. However, the analysis of eDNA from humans or forensic DNA, presents significant challenges, including low coverage, DNA degradation, and the uncertainty of the number of individuals contributing to a sample. This study introduces CHARON, a novel statistical method for jointly...
