Accurate Computation of Likelihoods in the Coalescent with Recombination via Parsimony.

Understanding the variation of recombination rates across a given genome is crucial for disease gene mapping and for detecting signatures of selection, to name just a couple of applications. A widely-used method of estimating recombination rates is the maximum likelihood approach, and the problem of...
