Effective Population Size Estimation in Large Marine Populations: Considering Current Challenges and Opportunities When Simulating Large Data Sets With High-Density Genomic Information.

ABSTRACT: Next-generation-sequencing has broadened perspectives regarding the estimation of the effective population size (Ne) by providing high-density genomic information. These technologies have expanded data collection and analytical tools in population genetics, increasing understanding of populations with high abundance, such as marine species with high commercial or conservation priority. Several common methods for estimating Ne are based on allele frequency spectra or linkage disequilibrium between loci. However, their specific constraints make it difficult to apply them to large populations, especially with confounding factors such as migration rates, complex sampling schemes or non-independence between loci. Computer simulations have long represented invaluable tools to explo
