An Efficient Estimator of the Mutation Parameter and Analysis of Polymorphism from the 1000 Genomes Project

The mutation parameter θ is fundamental and ubiquitous in the analysis of population samples of DNA sequences. This paper presents a new highly efficient estimator of θ by utilizing the phylogenetic information among distinct alleles in a sample of DNA sequences. The new estimator, called Allelic BL...
