CREATED: 201001261654 Title: Graph theory in recombinatorial population genomics

IBM’s genographic project. Using the Y chr and mtDNA does not provide a complete view. Can only trace along parental or maternal lines but not a combination of the two.

Using autosomes leads to Ancestral recombination graph, need to deal with recombination.

Q: Given tree, can we reconstruct ARG? A: Use a random graph framework and the Wright-Fisscher model

G_PG (pedegree graph) could have infinite LCA because of ancestor without ancestry problem

G_PGE models genetic exchange, LCAA is LCA with ancestry, equivalent to GMRCA in population genetics.
