The effect of exponential population growth (rate λ) on genealogical correlations for a sample of n = 50 chromosomes (from 106 coalescent simulations)
λ | R̄ | t2/Var(t) | ρij,ij | ρij,ik | ρij,kl | ![]() |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.0 | 10.0 | 1.00 | 0.319 | 0.085 | 0.058 | 0.25 |
1.0 | 10.0 | 1.91 | 0.460 | 0.110 | 0.067 | 0.22 |
5.0 | 10.0 | 3.37 | 0.561 | 0.107 | 0.058 | 0.20 |
10.0 | 10.0 | 4.37 | 0.604 | 0.106 | 0.060 | 0.19 |
The per generation recombination rate is adjusted such that the average number of recombination events in the history of the genealogy R is constant. The last column indicates the average value of r2 between mutations for which the rare allele at both loci has a frequency of at least 0.1.
