RUNTC – Estimator of First Coalescent Time

RUNTC

:: DESCRIPTION

RUNTC is an estimator of first coalescent time, which is the time when a copy of a gene most recently shared ancestry with other copies of that gene. This is also an estimate of the upper bound of when a mutation has arisen, and it can be used to study the ages of alleles that are found in a population.
