Abstract:Next‐generation sequencing of pooled samples (Pool‐seq) is an important tool in population genomics and molecular ecology. In Pool‐seq, the relative number of reads with an allele reflects the allele frequencies in the sample. However, unequal individual contributions to the pool and sequencing errors can lead to inaccurate allele frequency estimates, influencing downstream analysis. When designing Pool‐seq studies, researchers need to decide the pool size (number of individuals) and average depth of coverage … Show more
