Efficient computation of the joint sample frequency spectra for multiple populations

John A. Kamm, Jonathan Terhorst, Yun S. Song

A wide range of studies in population genetics have employed the sample frequency spectrum (SFS), a summary statistic which describes the distribution of mutant alleles at a polymo…

Tractable diffusion and coalescent processes for weakly correlated loci

Paul A. Jenkins, Paul Fearnhead, Yun S. Song

Widely used models in genetics include the Wright-Fisher diffusion and its moment dual, Kingman's coalescent. Each has a multilocus extension but under neither extension is the sam…

Approximate sampling formulae for general finite-alleles models of mutation

Anand Bhaskar, John A. Kamm, Yun S. Song

Many applications in genetic analyses utilize sampling distributions, which describe the probability of observing a sample of DNA sequences randomly drawn from a population. In the…

Closed-form asymptotic sampling distributions under the coalescent with recombination for an arbitrary number of loci

Anand Bhaskar, Yun S. Song

Obtaining a closed-form sampling distribution for the coalescent with recombination is a challenging problem. In the case of two loci, a new framework based on asymptotic series ha…

Padé approximants and exact two-locus sampling distributions

Paul A. Jenkins, Yun S. Song

For population genetics models with recombination, obtaining an exact, analytic sampling distribution has remained a challenging open problem for several decades. Recently, a new p…

An asymptotic sampling formula for the coalescent with Recombination

Paul A. Jenkins, Yun S. Song

Ewens sampling formula (ESF) is a one-parameter family of probability distributions with a number of intriguing combinatorial connections. This elegant closed-form formula first ar…
