Descartes' rule of signs and the identifiability of population demographic models from genomic variation data

Anand Bhaskar, Yun S. Song

The sample frequency spectrum (SFS) is a widely-used summary statistic of genomic variation in a sample of homologous DNA sequences. It provides a highly efficient dimensional redu…

The influence of relatives on the efficiency and error rate of familial searching

Rori V. Rohlfs, Erin Murphy, Yun S. Song +1

We investigate the consequences of adopting the criteria used by the state of California, as described by Myers et al. (2011), for conducting familial searches. We carried out a si…
