“…The methods by [Excoffier and Slatkin, 1995], [Pirinen, 2009], [Gasbarra et al, 2011], [Long et al, 2011], [Kessner et al, 2013] and [Cao and Sun, 2015] use known founder haplotypes, and only estimate the frequency trajectories of these haplotypes over time. To reconstruct microbial strains, methods have been proposed that rely on sequencing read data [Pulido-Tamayo et al, 2015], [Cao et al, 2020], [Knyazev et al, 2018].…”
