This talk focuses on the study of population models with a seed bank, in particular presenting their construction from classical models, some duality results and tree properties.The first part is an introduction to the Wright-Fisher model and the Kingman's coalescent. In the second part we present a way to build seed-bank models from these classical objects and how dormancy affects the population behavior. In particular, we observe some properties of the coalescent processes as the "coming down from infinity" and the time to the most recent common ancestor of a sample.
