Diffusion processes and coalescent trees
We dedicate this paper to Sir John Kingman on his 70th Birthday. In modern mathematical population genetics the ancestral history of a population of genes back in time is described by John Kingman’s coalescent tree. Classical and modern approaches model gene frequencies by diffusion processes. This paper, which is partly a review, discusses how coalescent processes are dual to diffusion process...
متن کاملGenealogy for Supercritical Branching Processes
We study the genealogy of so-called immortal branching processes, i.e. branching processes where each individual upon death is replaced by at least one new individual, and conclude that their marginal distributions are compound geometric. The result also implies that the limiting distributions of properly scaled supercritical branching processes are compound geometric. We exemplify our results ...
متن کاملStochastic flows associated to coalescent processes
We study a class of stochastic flows connected to the coalescent processes that have been studied recently by Möhle, Pitman, Sagitov and Schweinsberg in connection with asymptotic models for the genealogy of populations with a large fixed size. We define a bridge to be a rightcontinuous process (B(r), r ∈ [0, 1]) with nondecreasing paths and exchangeable increments, such that B(0) = 0 and B(1) ...
متن کاملAncestral processes in population genetics-the coalescent.
A special stochastic process, called the coalescent, is of fundamental interest in population genetics. For a large class of population models this process is the appropriate tool to analyse the ancestral structure of a sample of n individuals or genes, if the total number of individuals in the population is sufficiently large. A corresponding convergence theorem was first proved by Kingman in ...
متن کاملStructured coalescent processes on different time scales.
It is demonstrated that the structured coalescent model can readily be extended to include phenomena such as partial selfing and background selection through the use of an approximation based on separation of time scales. A model that includes these phenomena, as well as geographic subdivision and linkage to a polymorphism maintained either by local adaptation or by balancing selection, is deri...
