Evolutionary genomics of high fecundity

B Eldon - Annual Review of Genetics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Natural highly fecund populations abound. These range from viruses to gadids. Many highly
fecund populations are economically important. Highly fecund populations provide an …

Multiple Merger Genealogies in Outbreaks of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

F Menardo, S Gagneux, F Freund - Molecular biology and …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The Kingman coalescent and its developments are often considered among the most

The impact of genetic diversity statistics on model selection between coalescents

F Freund, A Siri-Jégousse - Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2021 - Elsevier
Modeling genetic diversity needs an underlying genealogy model. To choose a fitting model
based on genetic data, one can perform model selection between classes of genealogical …

Cannings models, population size changes and multiple-merger coalescents

F Freund - Journal of mathematical biology, 2020 - Springer
Multiple-merger coalescents, eg\varLambda Λ-n-coalescents, have been proposed as
models of the genealogy of n sampled individuals for a range of populations whose …

On Λ-Fleming–Viot processes with general frequency-dependent selection

AG Casanova, C Smadi - Journal of Applied Probability, 2020 - cambridge.org
We construct a multitype constant-size population model allowing for general selective
interactions as well as extreme reproductive events. Our multidimensional model aims for …

Inference of multiple mergers while dating a pathogen phylogeny

D Helekal, J Koskela, X Didelot - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
The vast majority of pathogen phylogenetic studies do not consider the possibility of multiple
merger events being present, where a single node of the tree leads to more than two …

Multiple merger coalescent inference of effective population size

J Zhang, JA Palacios - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.14976, 2024 - arxiv.org
Variation in a sample of molecular sequence data informs about the past evolutionary
history of the sample's population. Traditionally, Bayesian modeling coupled with the …

The TMRCA of general genealogies in populations of variable size

AH Wemces, L Peñaloza, M Steinruecken… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
We study the time to the most recent common ancestor of a sample of finite size in a wide
class of genealogical models for populations with variable size. This is made possible by …
