On Coalescence Analysis Using Genealogy Rooted Trees
DNA sequence data are now being used to study the ancestral history of human population. The existing methods for such coalescence inference use recursion formula to compute the data probabilities. These methods are useful in practical applications, but computationally complicated. Here we first investigate the asymptotic behavior of such inference; results indicate that, broadly, the estimated...
متن کامل4-PLACEMENT OF ROOTED TREES
A tree T of order n is called k-placement if there are k edge-disjoint copies of T into K_{n}. In this paper we prove some results about 4-placement of rooted trees.
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Genealogy Using Digitised Family Trees
Driven by the popularity of television shows such as Who Do You Think You Are? many millions of users have uploaded their family tree to web projects such as WikiTree [1]. Analysis of this corpus enables us to investigate genealogy computationally. The study of heritage in the social sciences has led to an increased understanding of ancestry and descent [2] but such efforts are hampered by diff...
متن کاملOn the Estimation of Mutation Rate Based on Coalescence Genealogy
Estimating gene mutation rates using DNA data from a population since its coalescence is an important part in the study of evolutionary genetic history, and is of its own interest also. There are a number of existing methods for this goal and are successful in application, but formal asymptotic study is absent except for the Watterson estimator, such as consistency of the estimator and its rate...
متن کاملOn a coalescence process and its branching genealogy
We define and analyze a coalescent process as a recursive boxfilling process whose genealogy is given by an ancestral time-reversed, timeinhomogeneous Bienyamé-Galton-Watson process. Special interest is on the expected size of a typical box and its probability of being empty. Special cases leading to exact asymptotic computations are investigated when the coalescing mechanisms are either linear...
