Gene genealogies, variation and evolution : a primer in coalescent theory /

"This text presents a straightforward and elementary account of coalescent theory, which is a central concept in the study of genetic sequence variation observed in a population. Authored by leading experts, and rich in examples and illustrations, Gene Genealogies, Variation and Evolution is hi...
