We consider a (sub) critical Galton-Watson process with neutral mutations (infinite alleles model), and decompose the entire population into clusters of individuals carrying the same allele. We specify the law of this allelic partition in terms of the distribution of the number of clone-children and the number of mutant-children of a typical individual. The approach combines an extension of Harris representation of Galton-Watson processes and a version of the ballot theorem. Some limit theorems related to the distribution of the allelic partition are also given.

We study survival properties of inhomogeneous Galton-Watson processes. We determine the so-called branching number (which is the reciprocal of the critical value for percolation) for these random trees (conditioned on being infinite), which turns out
to be an a.s. constant. We also shed some light on the way the survival probability varies between the generations. When we perform independent percolation on the family tree of an inhomogeneous Galton-Watson process, the result is essentially a family of inhomogeneous Galton-Watson processes, parametrized by the retention probability $p$. We provide growth rates, uniformly in $p$, of the percolation clusters, and also show uniform convergence of the survival probability from the $n$-th level along subsequences. These results also establish, as a corollary, the supercritical continuity of the percolation function. Some of our results are generalisations of results by Lyons (1992).
Pruning processes $(mathcal{F}(theta),thetageq 0)$ have been studied separately for Galton-Watson trees and for Levy trees/forests. We establish here a limit theory that strongly connects the two studies. This solves an open problem by Abraham and De
lmas, also formulated as a conjecture by Lohr, Voisin and Winter. Specifically, we show that for any sequence of Galton-Watson forests $mathcal{F}_n$, $ngeq 1$, in the domain of attraction of a Levy forest $mathcal{F}$, suitably scaled pruning processes $(mathcal{F}_n(theta),thetageq 0)$ converge in the Skorohod topology on cadlag functions with values in the space of (isometry classes of) locally compact real trees to limiting pruning processes. We separately treat pruning at branch points and pruning at edges. We apply our results to study ascension times and Kesten trees and forests.
We consider a model of a population of fixed size N in which each individual gets replaced at rate one and each individual experiences a mutation at rate mu. We calculate the asymptotic distribution of the time that it takes before there is an indivi
dual in the population with m mutations. Several different behaviors are possible, depending on how mu changes with N. These results have applications to the problem of determining the waiting time for regulatory sequences to appear and to models of cancer development.
We study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on trees where particles are generated at the root. Particles can only jump away from the root, and they jump from $x$ to $y$ at rate $r_{x,y}$ provided $y$ is empty. Starting from the
all empty initial condition, we show that the distribution of the configuration at time $t$ converges to an equilibrium. We study the current and give conditions on the transition rates such that the current is of linear order or such that there is zero current, i.e. the particles block each other. A key step, which is of independent interest, is to bound the first generation at which the particle trajectories of the first $n$ particles decouple.
This paper deals with branching processes in varying environment, namely, whose offspring distributions depend on the generations. We provide sufficient conditions for survival or extinction which rely only on the first and second moments of the offs
pring distributions. These results are then applied to branching processes in varying environment with selection where every particle has a real-valued label and labels can only increase along genealogical lineages; we obtain analogous conditions for survival or extinction. These last results can be interpreted in terms of accessibility percolation on Galton-Watson trees, which represents a relevant tool for modeling the evolution of biological populations.
