Genetic drift in populations governed by a Galton–Watson branching process

Abstract

Most population genetics studies have their origins in a Wright–Fisher or some closely related fixed-population model in which each individual randomly chooses its ancestor. Populations which vary in size with time are typically modelled via a coalescent derived from Wright–Fisher, but use a nonlinear time-scaling driven by a deterministically imposed population growth. An alternate, arguably more realistic approach, and one which we take here, is to allow the population size to vary stochastically via a Galton–Watson branching process.
