Coalescent Theory: New Developments and Applications
Month: October 2013
Date: October 7--11
Name: Coalescent Theory: New Developments and Applications
Location: Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, Montréal, Canada.
Description
Coalescent theory is one of the most elegant and powerful probabilistic approaches in mathematical population genetics. It formalizes the backward perspective on evolution in large finite populations by considering a population evolving forward in time under the effects of various factors, conditional on genetic data observed in the current generation, providing a link between evolutionary models and empirical data.
