Coalescent theory is a model of how alleles sampled from a population may have originated from a common ancestor. In the simplest case, coalescent theory assumes no recombination , no natural selection , and no gene flow or population structure , meaning that each variant is equally likely to have been passed from one generation to the next.
Sir John Frank Charles Kingman FRS [4] (born 28 August 1939) [5] is a British mathematician. [2] [6] He served as N. M. Rothschild and Sons Professor of Mathematical Sciences and Director of the Isaac Newton Institute at the University of Cambridge from 2001 until 2006, [1] [5] [7] when he was succeeded by David Wallace.
Coalescent theory relates genetic diversity in a sample to demographic history of the population from which it was taken. It normally assumes neutrality , and so sequences from more neutrally evolving portions of genomes are therefore selected for such analyses.
Idealised population models could not only provide us with information about present populations conditions but are useful in revealing natural history and population dynamics in the past as well. Using an idealised population model, Anders Eriksson and Andrea Manica (2012) tested the hypothesis of the archaic human admixture with modern humans ...
Coalescence (genetics) or the coalescent theory, the merging of genetic lineages backwards to a most recent common ancestor, in other words a model of how alleles sampled from a population may have originated from a common ancestor
