Introduce the coalescent as a practical means to model the properties of alleles in a population.
Introduce the coalescent as a practical means to model the properties of alleles in a population.
The coalescent is an extremely convenient modeling tool for studying population genetic properties, such as the number of variants in region, their allele frequencies and linkage disequilibrium relationships between them. We'll discuss the advantages of the coalescent relative to alternatives such as forward simulation and introduce some of the properties of genetic variation that can be studied with the coalescent.
