Appendix 1—figure 6. Comparing estimates of $N\mathbf{}\mathrm{(}t\mathrm{)}$ in A. thaliana.

Here, we show estimates of population size over time ($N(t)$) inferred using four different methods, smc++, and stairway plot, and MSMC with $n=2$ and $n=8$. Data were generated by simulating replicate A. thaliana genomes under the African2Epoch_1H18 model (Durvasula et al., 2017) and using the SalomeAveraged_TAIR7 genetic map (Salomé et al., 2012). As a proxy for the ‘truth’, in black we show inverse coalescence rates as calculated from the demographic model used for simulation (see text).
