A new method for the estimation of migration rates and effective population sizes is described. It uses a maximum-likelihood framework based on coalescence theory. The parameters are estimated by Metropolis-Hastings importance sampling. In a two-population model this method estimates four parameters: the effective population size and the immigration rate for each population relative to the mutation rate. Summarizing over loci can be done by assuming either that the mutation rate is the same for all loci or that the mutation rates are gamma distributed among loci but the same for all sites of a locus. The estimates are as good as or better than those from an optimized FST-based measure. The program is available on the World Wide Web at http://evolution.genetics. washington.edu/lamarc.html/.
本文描述了一种估计迁移率和有效种群大小的新方法。它使用基于合并理论的最大似然框架。参数通过Metropolis-Hastings重要性抽样进行估计。在双种群模型中,该方法估计四个参数:每个种群相对于突变率的有效种群大小和移民率。总结位点时,可以假设所有位点的突变率相同,或者假设突变率在位点间呈伽马分布,但位点的所有位点相同。这些估计与基于优化FST的测量方法一样好或更好。该程序可在万维网上获取,网址为http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/lamarc.html/ 。
