Coalescence time for two genes from a subdivided population.

Journal article

In this paper a new form of the solution for the Laplace transform and moments of the distribution of the waiting time for two genes to coalescence is presented. The two genes are sampled from a subdivided population where migration rates between populations are constant in time. Equal subpopulation size is not assumed. For the special case of an island model with equal migration rates between islands, the Laplace transform of the coalescence time and the first and second moments are found ex...
