title: The time to the ancestor along sequences with recombination.
abstract: In a sample of DNA sequences where recombination can occur to the ancestors of the sample, distinct parts of the sequences may have different most recent common ancestors. This paper presents a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing the expected time to the most recent common ancestor along the sequences, conditional on where the mutations occur on the sequences.
