Correcting for Sequencing Error in Maximum Likelihood Phylogeny Inference
Accurate phylogenies are critical to taxonomy as well as studies of speciation processes and other evolutionary patterns. Accurate branch lengths in phylogenies are critical for dating and rate measurements. Such accuracy may be jeopardized by unacknowledged sequencing error. We use simulated data to test a correction for DNA sequencing error in maximum likelihood phylogeny inference. Over a wi...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms and parallel processing in maximum-likelihood phylogeny inference.
We investigated the usefulness of a parallel genetic algorithm for phylogenetic inference under the maximum-likelihood (ML) optimality criterion. Parallelization was accomplished by assigning each "individual" in the genetic algorithm "population" to a separate processor so that the number of processors used was equal to the size of the evolving population (plus one additional processor for the...
متن کاملParallel Inference of a 10.000-Taxon Phylogeny with Maximum Likelihood
Inference of large phylogenetic trees with statistical methods is computationally intensive. We recently introduced simple heuristics which yield accurate trees for synthetic as well as real data and are implemented in a sequential program called RAxML. We have demonstrated that RAxML outperforms the currently fastest statistical phylogeny programs (MrBayes, PHYML) in terms of speed and likelih...
متن کاملCorrecting for covariate measurement error in logistic regression using nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation
When covariates are measured with error, inference based on conventional generalized linear models can yield biased estimatesof regressionparameters. This problem can potentiallybe rectied byusing generalizedlinear latent and mixedmodels (GLLAMM), including a measurementmodel for the relationship between observed and true covariates. However, the models are typically estimated under the assump...
متن کاملA genetic algorithm for maximum-likelihood phylogeny inference using nucleotide sequence data.
Phylogeny reconstruction is a difficult computational problem, because the number of possible solutions increases with the number of included taxa. For example, for only 14 taxa, there are more than seven trillion possible unrooted phylogenetic trees. For this reason, phylogenetic inference methods commonly use clustering algorithms (e.g., the neighbor-joining method) or heuristic search strate...
