Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, to elucidate the process of ancient crop cultivation, it was aimed that the divergence time and effective population size would be estimated accurately through large-scale analysis, which was recently enabled by low-cost, high-throughput DNA sequencing. Whole genome sequence data are first obtained from two different closely-related species or populations, and then a genome-wide distribution of nucleotide substitutions is calculated. The distribution does not obey a Poisson distribution, which assumes an equal substitution rate. Although a negative binomial distribution better fitsto the data, a mixed model of speciation and ancestral polymorphisms was found to best fit to the data. In the data analysis of this study, for example, the divergence time between Asian rice and African rice was much smaller than the previous estimate, which means that the past estimation overlooked the inflation of the estimated values that was caused by ancestral polymorphisms.
