GENIE: estimating demographic history from molecular phylogenies
UNLABELLED GENIE implements a statistical framework for inferring the demographic history of a population from phylogenies that have been reconstructed from sampled DNA sequences. The methods are based on population genetic models known collectively as coalescent theory. AVAILABILITY GENIE is available from http://evolve.zoo.ox.ac.uk. All popular operating systems are supported.
متن کاملEstimating Phylogenies from Molecular Data
Phylogenetic estimation from aligned DNA, RNA or amino acid sequences has attracted more and more attention in recent years due to its importance in analysis of many fine-scale genetic data. Nowadays, its application fields range from medical research to drug discovery, to epidemiology, to systematics and population dynamics. Estimating phylogenies involves solving an optimization problem, call...
متن کاملInferring biogeographic history from molecular phylogenies
The present study illustrates a method for analysing the biogeography of a group that is based on the group’s phylogeny but does not invoke founder dispersal or centre of origin. The case studies presented include groups from many different parts of the world, but most are from the south-west Pacific. The idea that basal groups are ancestral is not valid as a generalization. Neither the basal g...
متن کاملEstimating 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 کاملSkyline-plot methods for estimating demographic history from nucleotide sequences.
Estimation of demographic history from nucleotide sequences represents an important component of many studies in molecular ecology. For example, knowledge of a population's history can allow us to test hypotheses about the impact of climatic and anthropogenic factors. In the past, demographic analysis was typically limited to relatively simple population models, such as exponential or logistic ...
