As a grad student with John Wakeley [link to http://wakeleylab.oeb.harvard.edu/], I worked
on a variety of topics involving
coalescent theory, including coalescence within fixed pedigrees,
coalescent models of identity - by - descent, and inference of reproductive and demographic history in triploid asexual snails using a novel sequentially Markov
coalescent model.
We tested the method
on simulated data using the sequential
coalescent with recombination model (SCRM) simulator43 with the model shown in Fig. 3b with 1,000 haploid samples distributed evenly across the five populations and realistic recombination and mutation parameters.
