Molecular clocks are the basis for dating the divergence between lineages over macroevolutionary timescales (~ 105 to 108 years). However, classical DNA-based clocks …
The success of model-based methods in phylogenetics has motivated much research aimed at generating new, biologically informative models. This new computer-intensive approach …
Phylogenetic data arising on two possibly different tree topologies might be mixed through several biological mechanisms, including incomplete lineage sorting or horizontal gene …
Phylogenetic mixture models are statistical models of character evolution allowing for heterogeneity. Each of the classes in some unknown partition of the characters may evolve …
In many organisms, gene trees based on nuclear markers and those based on cytoplasmic markers (chloroplasts or mitochondria) sometimes indicate quite different relationships …
The invariable site plus model (I is widely used to model rate heterogeneity among alignment sites in maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. The proof that …

Polymorphism-aware phylogenetic models (PoMo) constitute an alternative approach for species tree estimation from genome-wide data. PoMo builds on the standard substitution …

In “no common mechanism”(NCM) models of character evolution, each character can evolve on a phylogenetic tree under a partially or totally separate process (eg, with its own branch …

A profile mixture (PM) model is a model of protein evolution, describing sequence data in which sites are assumed to follow many related substitution processes on a single …
