18 Coalescents p.18/48 Ancestry of a sample in the population pedigree Time

19 Coalescents p.19/48 Why lineages coalesce under the Wright Fisher model each gene comes from a random copy in the previous generation a chance of 1 out of 2N that another one comes from the same copy hence it takes about 2N generations for two lineages to coalesce

20 Coalescents p.20/48 Sir John Kingman J. F. C. Kingman in about 1983 Currently Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, U.K., and former head of the Isaac Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

21 Kingman s coalescent Random collision of lineages as go back in time (sans recombination) Collision is faster the smaller the effective population size u 9 u 8 u7 u6 u 5 u 4 u 3 u 2 In a diploid population of effective population size N e 4N e Average time for k copies to coalesce to k 1 = k(k 1) Average time for two copies to coalesce = 2N e generations Average time for n copies to coalesce = 4N e ( 1 1 n ( generations Coalescents p.21/48

29 Random coalescents from the same population Coalescents p.29/48

30 Two sources of variability (1) Randomness of mutation affected by the mutation rate u can reduce variance of number of mutations per site per branch by examining more sites (2) Randomness of coalescence of lineages affected by effective population size N e coalescence times allow estimation of N e can reduce variability by looking at (i) more gene copies, or (ii) more loci Coalescents p.30/48

31 Coalescents p.31/48 Coalescent with population growth size of population During a population bottleneck there is expected to be a burst of coalescence Down near the root of the tree effects of population size become difficult to see
