Coalescent models for populations with time-varying population sizes and arbitrary offspring distributions

2017-04-28

Abstract excerpt

The coalescent has been used to infer from gene genealogies the population dynamics of biological systems, such as the prevalence of an infectious disease. The offspring distribution affects the relationship between population dynamics and the genealogy, and for infectious diseases, the offspring distribution is often highly overdispersed. Here, we provide a general formula for the coalescent rate for populations...
