Estimating divergence times in large molecular phylogenies.
Molecular dating of species divergences has become an important means to add a temporal dimension to the Tree of Life. Increasingly larger datasets encompassing greater taxonomic diversity are becoming available to generate molecular timetrees by using sophisticated methods that model rate variation among lineages. However, the practical application of these methods is challenging because of th...
متن کاملEstimating divergence times in large phylogenetic trees.
A new method, PATHd8, for estimating ultrametric trees from trees with edge (branch) lengths proportional to the number of substitutions is proposed. The method allows for an arbitrary number of reference nodes for time calibration, each defined either as absolute age, minimum age, or maximum age, and the tree need not be fully resolved. The method is based on estimating node ages by mean path ...
متن کاملEstimating ancestral population sizes and divergence times.
This article presents a new method for jointly estimating species divergence times and ancestral population sizes. The method improves on previous ones by explicitly incorporating intragenic recombination, by utilizing orthologous sequence data from closely related species, and by using a maximum-likelihood framework. The latter allows for efficient use of the available information and provides...
متن کاملEstimating Divergence Times and Substitution Rates in Rhizobia
Accurate estimation of divergence times of soil bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing associations with most leguminous plants is challenging because of a limited fossil record and complexities associated with molecular clocks and phylogenetic diversity of root nodule bacteria, collectively called rhizobia. To overcome the lack of fossil record in bacteria, divergence times of host legumes were us...

were nonstationary at first positions for the ingroup at P = 0.01 using the chi-square test in PAUP*. The chi-square test in PAUP∗ appears to do a good job of identifying the worst offenders and although crude, is effective for a large data set when analyzing individual genes. We certainly anticipate that as more refined tests of stationarity are implemented (e.g., Foster, 2004), discrimination...
