TLDR
Examples drawn from two-allele genetic models are discussed, in which reversibility of the return process means that the age of an allele, whose present frequency in the population is known, has the same probability distribution as its future extinction time.

A new statistical method for haplotype reconstruction from population data.

TL;DR: A new statistical method is presented, applicable to genotype data at linked loci from a population sample, that improves substantially on current algorithms and performs well in absolute terms, suggesting that reconstructing haplotypes experimentally or by genotyping additional family members may be an inefficient use of resources.

Pattern of polymorphism after strong artificial selection in a domestication event

TL;DR: The process of strong artificial selection during a domestication event is modeled, and its effect on the pattern of DNA polymorphism is investigated, and this model can be generalized to describe selective sweeps from standing genetic variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The age of a mutation in a general coalescent tree

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors put this result in a general coalescent process context that allows questions to be asked about mutations in a sample, as well as in the population, in the general context the population size may vary back in time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating allele age.

TL;DR: Estimates of allele age depend on assumptions about demographic history and natural selection and on randomness of the genealogy of chromosomes that carry the allele (the intra-allelic genealogy).
