Phylogenetic and diversity analysis of the mtDNA control region sequence variation of 821
individuals from Europe and the Middle East distinguishes five major lineage groups with …

The structured coalescent is used to calculate some quantities relating to the genealogy of a
pair of homologous genes and to the degree of subpopulation differentiation, under a range …

Although sexual reproduction is ubiquitous throughout nature, the molecular machinery
behind it has been repeatedly disrupted during evolution, leading to the emergence of asexual …

This paper is concerned with the “isolation with migration” model, where a panmictic
ancestral population gave rise to a symmetric n-island model, time τ ago. Explicit analytical …

This paper is concerned with a model of “isolation with an initial period of migration”, where
a panmictic ancestral population split into n descendant populations which exchanged …

The isolation-with-migration (IM) model is commonly used to make inferences about gene
flow during speciation, using polymorphism data. However, it has been reported that the …

We investigate the dynamics of head lice infections in schools, by consideringa model for
endemic infection based on a stochastic SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic model…

Using the structured coalescent model, it is shown that unequal migration rates between
different pairs of subpopulations can increase the value of Wright's coefficient F ST and its …

The CCR5-Δ32 allele crucially determines the course of HIV infection and appears to be
highly protective against the disease. Population genetic studies suggest that the allele has …

The structured coalescent is a continuous-time Markov chain which describes the genealogy
of a sample of homologous genes from a subdivided population. Assuming this model, …
