Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, 3012 Bern, Switzerland
BMC Bioinformatics 11:116. 2010..The situation changed recently with the advent of Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) algorithms allowing one to obtain parameter posterior distributions based on simulations not requiring likelihood computations...
Efficient approximate Bayesian computation coupled with Markov chain Monte Carlo without likelihoodDaniel Wegmann
Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Laboratory, Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, 3012, Switzerland
Genetics 182:1207-18. 2009..We then apply our method to a more complex case with the estimation of divergence times and migration rates between three African populations...

Genetics 184:243-52. 2010..We then apply the proposed methodology to the question of population subdivision among western chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus...
Distinguishing between population bottleneck and population subdivision by a Bayesian model choice procedureBenjamin M Peter
Computational and Molecular Population Genetics CMPG, Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, Baltzerstrasse 6, CH 3012 Bern, Switzerland
Mol Ecol 19:4648-60. 2010..We apply our model choice procedure to the case of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and find conclusive evidence that Western and Eastern chimpanzee samples are drawn from a spatially subdivided population...
Width of gene expression profile drives alternative splicingDaniel Wegmann
Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Laboratory, Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 3:e3587. 2008..We finally propose that the width of the gene expression profile is an essential factor for the acquisition of new transcript isoforms that could later be maintained by a new form of balancing selection...
Molecular diversity after a range expansion in heterogeneous environmentsDaniel Wegmann
Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Laboratory, Zoological Institute, University of Bern, Switzerland
Genetics 174:2009-20. 2006..Overall, temporal heterogeneity and local extinctions are not found to leave any specific signature on molecular diversity that cannot be produced by spatial heterogeneity...
