An evolutionary epigenetic clock in plants
Molecular clocks are the basis for dating the divergence between lineages over
macroevolutionary timescales (~ 105 to 108 years). However, classical DNA-based clocks …

Morphological data sets fit a common mechanism much more poorly than DNA sequences and call into question the Mkv model
The Mkv evolutionary model, based on minor modifications to models of molecular
evolution, is being increasingly used to infer phylogenies from discrete morphological data …
