In genetics, coalescent theory is a retrospective model of population genetics. It employs a sample of individuals from a population to trace all alleles of a gene shared by all members of the population to a single ancestral copy, known as the most recent common ancestor (MRCA; sometimes also termed the coancestor to emphasize the coalescent relationship). The inheritance relationships between alleles are typically represented as a gene genealogy, similar in form to a phylogenetic tree. This gene genealogy is also known as the coalescent; understanding the statistical properties of the…mehr

In genetics, coalescent theory is a retrospective model of population genetics. It employs a sample of individuals from a population to trace all alleles of a gene shared by all members of the population to a single ancestral copy, known as the most recent common ancestor (MRCA; sometimes also termed the coancestor to emphasize the coalescent relationship). The inheritance relationships between alleles are typically represented as a gene genealogy, similar in form to a phylogenetic tree. This gene genealogy is also known as the coalescent; understanding the statistical properties of the coalescent under different assumptions forms the basis of coalescent theory. The coalescent runs models of genetic drift backward in time to investigate the genealogy of antecedents. In the most simple case, coalescent theory assumes no recombination, no natural selection, and no gene flow or population structure.
