KnowraCoalescent theoryLinked fromLinked fromThe 10 pages that link to Coalescent theory, each with the reason it gives.All 10Related 8Narrower topic 2Population geneticsRelated: It connects present-day genetic samples to past population size and ancestry.Genetic driftRelated: It describes drift through the chance merging of ancestral lineages.Founder effectRelated: It links present-day genetic data to the small ancestral groups that founded populations.Incomplete lineage sortingNarrower topic: It predicts the probability that ancestral variants persist through successive speciation events.PhylogenomicsRelated: Coalescent models explain why gene trees can differ from the species tree.HaplotypeRelated: Haplotype genealogies can reveal when chromosome lineages shared ancestors.PhylogeographyRelated: It connects observed genetic variation to ancestral population histories and times.Mitochondrial EveNarrower topic: It provides the population-genetic framework for estimating when mitochondrial lineages coalesce.Y-chromosomal AdamRelated: Coalescent models explain why sampled Y lineages converge on an ancestor even when many contemporaries left descendants.Human evolutionary geneticsRelated: It connects present-day genetic samples to ancestral population sizes and branching histories.
