The Multispecies Coalescent (MSC) process is a theoretical framework used in population genetics and phylogenetics to model the ancestry of species and the gene flow between them. It extends the coalescent theory, which was originally developed to describe the genealogical processes of a single population, to multiple species that may have shared a common ancestral population.
