<p>Due to advances in sequencing technologies, large-scale genomic research has become feasible for many biologists who study organisms that are not traditionally used as model organisms. Many genomes from populations of non-model organisms have been sequenced using these new technologies, providing novel insights into the underlying mechanisms and patterns of evolution of particular traits (e.g., Ellegren et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2012</xref>; Jones et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2012</xref>; Martin et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">2013</xref>). However, many biologists studying non-model organisms, particularly those with large genomes, have not yet entered the era of population genomics because of costs limit. Therefore, generally genome sequencing projects, in which a genome from single individual is sequenced as a reference genome, and population genomics projects, in which complete genomes of multiple individuals are sequenced, are to be in different regimes for many researchers. Because some biologists still misunderstand that population genetic information is obtained only with &#x0201C;population&#x0201D; samples, important population genetics information from a small number of individuals are often ignored and not described in literatures.</p>
<p>However, population genetics theory has predicted that a selection of population genetics statistics could be estimated without studying a large number of individuals when many genetically independent loci were investigated. In the framework of massively parallel sequencing, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can be identified by mapping many short-read sequences to reference or <italic>de novo</italic> assembled genomes; heterozygous SNPs between two chromosomes represent the genetic diversity of a population, unless strong population structure (e.g., inbreeding) exists.</p>
<p>For example, an estimation of nucleotide diversity (&#x003C0;) could be inferred from a single genome sequence of a diploid individual. By definition, &#x003C0; is the average number of nucleotide differences between random samples of two alleles from a population. If only two alleles from one locus are examined, there could be a large stochastic variance for the estimator of &#x003C0;. However, genome sequences are the result of many recombination events in the past; therefore, any given genomic sequence is a sample of many different genomic loci that have different histories (genealogies). Therefore, the variance of &#x003C0; would be fairly small when it is estimated using a whole genome sequence, except for very small and/or rarely recombined genomes (Pluzhnikov and Donnelly, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">1996</xref>; Felsenstein, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">2006</xref>). The exome study of multiple human individuals showed that the number of protein-coding heterozygous SNPs within individuals is fairly constant among individuals in the same population group (Ng et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">2009</xref>).</p>
<p>One limitation for this sort of analysis is the quality of data for genome sequences and read numbers. The rate of heterozygous SNPs is highly dependent on the coverage depth (Bentley et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">2008</xref>). Deficiencies of coverage will bias the estimate toward lower values. Another problem may be the distance between the mapping sample and the reference genome. When the genetic divergence between a sample and a reference is relatively large, reads from non-reference alleles are less plausible to be mapped on the reference genome, leading to underestimation of &#x003C0;. In addition, when we identify SNPs using <italic>de novo</italic> assembled genomes, care must be taken that genomes are not separately assembled into two haploid genomes, which could occur when genetic diversity within a population is very high. In this case, heterozygous SNPs tend to be lost in the resulting diverged contigs.</p>
<p>Despite the above limitation, such information will aid to understanding of much genetic variation exists in the population, how ecological factors affect genetic diversity among many types of organisms, and how the numbers of segregating non-synonymous and synonymous mutations relate to effective population sizes (Akashi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">2012</xref>; Lanfear et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">2014</xref>). Recently, an alternative transcriptome-level approach to estimate population genetics parameters without sequencing genomes of multiple individuals, providing a cost-effective option, has been also proposed and implemented (Gayral et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">2013</xref>; Loire et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">2013</xref>). Regardless of the method used, accumulation of such population genetics data would be very important for answering many evolutionary questions, and the presentation of population genetics statistics is desirable for future genome-wide studies.</p>
<p>Li and Durbin recently developed the PSMC method, a pairwise version of the sequentially Markovian coalescent (McVean, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">2009</xref>), to infer past demography using a single genome sequence (Li and Durbin, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">2011</xref>). The method significantly enhanced research for exploring an important aspect of demography using a single diploid genome sequence, and its use has been widely reported (e.g., Higashino et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">2012</xref>; Miller et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">2012</xref>; Prado-Martinez et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">2013</xref>; Zhao et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">2013</xref>). However, it should be noted that the method is effective only when the assembled chromosomes are sufficiently long with given recombination rate; the method is not suitable for estimating very recent changes in population size (Keinan and Clark, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">2012</xref>; Sheehan et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">2013</xref>).</p>
<p>More recently, Sheehan et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">2013</xref>) developed an efficient implementation of sequentially Markovian coalescent for use with multiple individuals. Currently, the densest sampling in natural populations is achieved in humans. Many novel methods that is applicable to genome-wide polymorphism data have been developed and utilized to analyze human data, such as Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods (e.g., Beaumont et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2002</xref>) and their derivatives (Nakagome et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">2013</xref>), and composite-likelihood methods using site frequency spectrum (Gutenkunst et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">2009</xref>; Excoffier et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">2013</xref>) or identity by state tract length (Harris and Nielsen, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">2013</xref>). It is anticipated that these approaches will become widely used in future genome-wide population studies in non-model organisms.</p>
<p>In addition to the estimation of demography, although sampling bias may seriously affect some estimators of population genetics parameters in the presence of inbreeding and population structure, some analysis may be robust against the bias. For example, it has been shown that genetic diversity within populations decreases near functional regions of the genome owing to natural selection in mammals and <italic>Drosophila</italic> (selective sweep or background selection; Hernandez et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2011</xref>; Sattath et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">2011</xref>; Halligan et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2013</xref>). Although this pattern was initially identified using the genome sequences of multiple individuals, we could observe a similar trend using a single diploid genome. Osada et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">2013</xref>), by re-analyzing the data of Yan et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">2011</xref>) showed that when the diversity level was normalized by divergence level, the SNP density in non-coding regions between two different chromosomes from a cynomolgus monkey (<italic>Macaca fascicularis</italic>) declined to approximately 90% near annotated exons, and that this of reduction is slightly stronger on X chromosomes than on autosomes. Although statistical power to detect such patterns is plausibly weaker than that of a multi-individual analysis, it is interesting to see whether the observed patterns in <italic>Drosophila</italic> and mammals are universal among different types of diploid organisms. Needless to say, an analysis with a small number of samples should be considered a starting point, as it would not capture all important aspects of natural populations, such as complex demography and population structure. Nevertheless, such an analysis could provide novel insight into the evolution of genomes in a wider range of taxa before we enter the true population genomics era.</p>
