Species trees from gene trees: reconstructing Bayesian posterior distributions of a species phylogeny using estimated gene tree distributions. (2007, background): “…extinction rate (e), and the number of species (n), the joint density of the topology (T) and branch lengths (T) of a particular species tree is (Yang and Rannala, 1997): Mutation rate variation among loci may influence the estimation of ancestral population sizes (Yang, 1997; Chen and Li, 2001).”
Discordance of Species Trees with Their Most Likely Gene Trees (2006, unknown): “When many loci are studied, the species tree topology is often estimated using the most frequently inferred gene tree topology [1–5].”
Bayes estimation of species divergence times and ancestral population sizes using DNA sequences from multiple loci. (2003, methodology): “Those estimates seem the data set of Chen and Li (2001) at 53 loci and then too young, as current opinion appears to favor a date including the data at the three other loci as well, in as old as 7 MY (Brunet et al. 2002).”
A common inversion under selection in Europeans (2005, background): “Assuming that the split between humans and chimpanzees occurred ∼6 million years ag”
New Genetic Evidence on the Evolution of Chimpanzee Populations and Implications for Taxonomy (2006, background): “Several studies suggest that chimpanzees, whose genome is remarkably similar to our own (Chen and Li, 2001; Wildman et al., 2003), possess 2–6 times the genetic diversity of humans (Kaessmann et al.”
Multilocus Methods for Estimating Population Sizes, Migration Rates and Divergence Time, With Applications to the Divergence of Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis (2004, background): “The model can also be simpli- chimpanzees [i.e., assuming 6 million years divergence, at 25 years per generation (Chen and Li 2001; Brunetfied, and the number of parameters reduced, by speci- fying that two or all three population mutation rates are et al. 2002)].”
Widespread Genomic Signatures of Natural Selection in Hominid Evolution (2009, background): “At such positions, the human-chimpanzee coalescent predates the gorilla split [29] (see Figure S1) and so is very old.”
Variation in genome-wide mutation rates within and between human families (2011, background): “These apparently discordant estimates can be largely reconciled if the age of the human-chimpanzee divergence is pushed back to 7 million years, as suggested by some interpretations of recent fossil find”
Comparing the human and chimpanzee genomes: Searching for needles in a haystack (2005, background): “Humans (Homo sapiens) and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) last shared a common ancestor ∼5–7 million years ago (Mya) (Chen and Li 2001; Brunet et al. 2002).”
Ultraconserved elements anchor thousands of genetic markers spanning multiple evolutionary timescales. (2012, background): “Our results from primates indicate that UCEs have levels of gene-tree discordance similar to those expected by coalescent stochasticity at the well-described divergence between human, chimpanzees, and gorillas (Chen and Li 2001).”
