Inferring ancestral sequences in taxon-rich phylogenies.
Statistical consistency in phylogenetics has traditionally referred to the accuracy of estimating phylogenetic parameters for a fixed number of species as we increase the number of characters. However, it is also useful to consider a dual type of statistical consistency where we increase the number of species, rather than characters. This raises some basic questions: what can we learn about the...
متن کاملPerfect taxon sampling and phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage
In a recent study, Steel and Sanderson defined and characterized phylogenetically decisive sets of taxon sets. A set is called phylogenetically decisive if regardless of the trees chosen for each of its taxon sets, as long as these trees are compatible with one another, their supertree is always unique. This implies that the sampled taxon sets always lead to a unique supertree, regardless what ...
متن کاملEfficient and consistent inference of ancestral sequences in an evolutionary model with insertions and deletions under dense taxon sampling
In evolutionary biology, the speciation history of living organisms is represented graphically by a phylogeny, that is, a rooted tree whose leaves correspond to current species and branchings indicate past speciation events. Phylogenies are commonly estimated from molecular sequences, such as DNA sequences, collected from the species of interest. At a high level, the idea behind this inference ...
متن کاملIncremental Sampling based Algorithms for State Estimation
Perception is a crucial aspect of the operation of autonomous vehicles. With a multitude of different sources of sensor data, it becomes important to have algorithms which can process the available information quickly and provide a timely solution. Also, an inherently continuous world is sensed by robot sensors and converted into discrete packets of information. Algorithms that can take advanta...
متن کاملIncreased taxon sampling greatly reduces phylogenetic error.
Several authors have argued recently that extensive taxon sampling has a positive and important effect on the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates. However, other authors have argued that there is little benefit of extensive taxon sampling, and so phylogenetic problems can or should be reduced to a few exemplar taxa as a means of reducing the computational complexity of the phylogenetic analysis....
