We derive statistical tools to analyze the patterns of genetic variability produced by models
related to seed banks; in particular the Kingman coalescent, its time-changed counterpart …

We identify a new natural coalescent structure, which we call the seed-bank coalescent, that
describes the gene genealogy of populations under the influence of a strong seed-bank …

We analyze patterns of genetic variability of populations in the presence of a large seedbank
with the help of a new coalescent structure called the seedbank coalescent. This ancestral …

The ability of the site-frequency spectrum (SFS) to reflect the particularities of gene
genealogies exhibiting multiple mergers of ancestral lines as opposed to those obtained in …

We introduce a low dimensional function of the site frequency spectrum that is tailor-made
for distinguishing coalescent models with multiple mergers from Kingman coalescent …

Continuous progress in empirical population genetics based on the whole‐genome
polymorphism data requires the theoretical analysis of refined models in order to interpret …

We present and discuss new importance sampling schemes for the approximate
computation of the sample probability of observed genetic types in the infinitely many sites …

We study the genealogical structure of samples from a population for which any given
generation is made up of direct descendants from several previous generations. These …

The serial coalescent extends traditional coalescent theory to include genealogies in which
not all individuals were sampled at the same time. Inference in this framework is powerful …

We give recursions for the expected site-frequency spectrum associated with so-called Xi-
coalescents, that is exchangeable coalescents which admit simultaneous multiple mergers …
