    Brendan D O'Fallon
    Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, USA
    Mol Biol Evol 27:1162-72. 2010
    ..Additionally, we demonstrate that only two parameters, population size and the variance of the distribution describing fitness heritability, are sufficient to describe most changes...
  2. ncbi A method to correct for the effects of purifying selection on genealogical inference
    Brendan D O'Fallon
    Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, USA
    Mol Biol Evol 27:2406-16. 2010
    ..I also compare the performance of the new method to relaxed clock models, and I demonstrate the method on a data set from the mitochondrion of the North Atlantic whale-"louse" Cyamus ovalis...

    Brendan D O'Fallon
    Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington
    Mol Biol Evol 28:3171-81. 2011
    ..Using the new method, I investigate two sets of dengue virus sequences from Puerto Rico and Thailand, and show that both genealogies are likely to have been distorted by selection...
