Biostatistics 666: Modeling Variation in the Coalescent
From Genome Analysis Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchObjective
This class builds on previous descriptions of the coalescent. In the class we model the impact of mutations on the coalescent and use it to study:
- What is the expected frequency spectrum of neutral variants?
- What is the distribution of S, the expected number variants discovered, after sequencing N samples.
