News in our lab.

We have published our divergence method that was available on Biorxiv for a while now in G3: Population divergence time estimation using individual lineage label switching.. We have started to work on a NSF funded grant to extend and improve our fractional coalescent to multiple populations, here is the one-population fractional coalescent paper: the fractional coalescent.
