Haploid Reproduction Model (i.e. no recombination) 122N i. Individuals are made by sampling with replacement in the previous generation. ii. The probability that 2 alleles have same ancestor in previous generation is 1/2N. iii. The probability that k alleles have less than k-1 ancestors in previous generation is vanishing.

0 recombinations implies traditional phylogeny

Diploid Model with Recombination An individual is made by: 1.The paternal chromosome is taken by picking random father. 2.Making that father’s chromosomes recombine to create the individuals paternal chromosome. Similarly for maternal chromosome.

A recombinant sequence will have have two different ancestor sequences in the grandparent. The Diploid Model Back in Time.

Mutations creates a difference in the sequence Recombination can create a shift in genealogy locally

Grand Most Recent Common Ancestor: GMRCA (griffiths & marjoram, 96) i. Track all sequences including those that has lost all ancestral material. ii. The G-ARG contains the ARG. The graph is too large, but the process is simpler. Sequence number - k. Birth rate:  *k/2 Death rate: 123k E(events until {1}) = (asymp.) exp(  ) +  log(k)

Spatial Coalescent-Recombination Algorithm (Wiuf & Hein 1999 TPB) 1. Make coalescent for position Wait Exp(Total Branch length) until recombination point, p. 3. Pick recombination point (*) uniformly on tree branches. 4. Let new sequence coalesce into genealogical structure. Continue 1-4 until p > L.

Properties of the spatial process i. The process is non-Markovian ii. The trees cannot be reduced to Topologies * = *

Compatibility can be determined without reference to a specific tree!!

Hudson& Kaplan’s R M (k positions can at most have (k+1) types without recombination) ex. Data set: A underestimate for the number of recombination events: If you equate R M with expected number of recombinations, this would be an analogue to Watterson’s estimators. Unfortunately, R M is a gross underestimate of the real number of recombinations.

Myers-Griffiths’ R M Basic Idea: 1 S Define R: R j,k is optimal solution to restricted interval., then: B j,i R j,k R j,i j k i
