The site-frequency spectrum associated with Xi-coalescents

The paper derives recursions for the site-frequency spectrum under Xi-coalescents and shows they predict fewer singletons and more multi-locus mutations compared to Lambda-coalescents.

Hybrid-Lambda: simulation of multiple merger and Kingman gene genealogies in species networks and species trees

Hybrid-Lambda simulates gene genealogies under multiple merger and Kingman coalescent processes in species networks and trees, and infers subdivision times in marine invertebrates.

Genetic variability under the seedbank coalescent

This paper introduces the seed bank coalescent to model genetic variability in populations with large seed banks, showing it alters distance statistics and site-frequency spectra.

Can the site-frequency spectrum distinguish exponential population growth from multiple-merger coalescents?

This study shows the site-frequency spectrum can distinguish exponential population growth from multiple-merger coalescents using statistical methods and approximate Bayesian computation.
