The standard bootstrap (SBS), despite being computationally intensive, is widely used in
maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses. We recently proposed the ultrafast bootstrap …

Nonparametric bootstrap has been a widely used tool in phylogenetic analysis to assess the
clade support of phylogenetic trees. However, with the rapidly growing amount of data, this …

In phylogenetic analyses of molecular sequence data, partitioning involves estimating
independent models of molecular evolution for different sets of sites in a sequence …

Resolving the closest relatives of Gnetales has been an enigmatic problem in seed plant
phylogeny. The problem is known to be difficult because of the extent of divergence between …

Correct rooting of the angiosperm radiation is both challenging and necessary for
understanding the origins and evolution of physiological and phenotypic traits in flowering …

The Computational Biology series publishes the very latest, high-quality research devoted to
specific issues in computer-assisted analysis of biological data. The main emphasis is on …

Measuring the phylogenetic information content of data has a long history in systematics.
Here we explore a Bayesian approach to information content estimation. The entropy of the …

Molecular phylogenetics is a powerful tool for inferring both the process and pattern of
evolution from genomic sequence data. Statistical approaches, such as maximum likelihood …

The test for model-to-data fitness is a fundamental principle within the statistical sciences.
The purpose of such a test is to assess whether the selected best-fitting model adequately …

In phylogenetic inference, an evolutionary model describes the substitution processes along
each edge of a phylogenetic tree. Misspecification of the model has important implications …
