Robust Demographic Inference from Genomic and SNP Data
We introduce a flexible and robust simulation-based framework to infer demographic parameters from the site frequency spectrum (SFS) computed on large genomic datasets. We show that our composite-likelihood approach allows one to study evolutionary models of arbitrary complexity, which cannot be tackled by other current likelihood-based methods. For simple scenarios, our approach compares favor...
متن کاملStatistical, algorithmic, and robustness aspects of population demographic inference from genomic variation data
Statistical, algorithmic, and robustness aspects of population demographic inference from genomic variation data by Anand Bhaskar Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Yun S. Song, Chair The recent availability of large-sample high-throughput sequencing data has given us an unprecedented opportunity to very finely resolve the details of historical...
متن کاملInferring sex-specific demographic history from SNP data
The relative female and male contributions to demography are of great importance to better understand the history and dynamics of populations. While earlier studies relied on uniparental markers to investigate sex-specific questions, the increasing amount of sequence data now enables us to take advantage of tens to hundreds of thousands of independent loci from autosomes and the X chromosome. H...
متن کاملMinimal-assumption inference from population-genomic data
Samples of multiple complete genome sequences contain vast amounts of information about the evolutionary history of populations, much of it in the associations among polymorphisms at different loci. We introduce a method, Minimal-Assumption Genomic Inference of Coalescence (MAGIC), that reconstructs key features of the evolutionary history, including the distribution of coalescence times, by in...
متن کاملQuartet Inference from SNP Data Under the Coalescent Model
MOTIVATION Increasing attention has been devoted to estimation of species-level phylogenetic relationships under the coalescent model. However, existing methods either use summary statistics (gene trees) to carry out estimation, ignoring an important source of variability in the estimates, or involve computationally intensive Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms that do not scale well t...
