Coalescent theory provides the foundation for molecular population genetics and genomics. It is the conceptual framework for studies of DNA sequence variation within species, and is the source of essential tools for making inferences about mutation, recombination, population structure and natural selection from DNA sequence data.
Coalescent Theory: An Introduction presents the mathematics of gene genealogies for biologists at the graduate and post-graduate level and for mathematicians interested in biology.
