Inconsistency of Species Tree Methods under Gene Flow.
Coalescent-based methods are now broadly used to infer evolutionary relationships between groups of organisms under the assumption that incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) is the only source of gene tree discordance. Many of these methods are known to consistently estimate the species tree when all their assumptions are met. Nonetheless, little work has been done to test the robustness of such met...
متن کاملLong-branch attraction in species tree estimation: inconsistency of partitioned likelihood and topology-based summary methods
With advances in sequencing technologies, there are now massive am-ounts of genomic data from across all life, leading to the possibility that arobust Tree of Life can be constructed. However, “gene tree heterogeneity”,which is when different genomic regions can evolve differently, is a commonphenomenon in multi-locus datasets, and reduces the accuracy of standardmethods for...
متن کاملReconciling a gene tree to a species tree under the duplication cost model
The general problem of reconciling the information from evolutionary trees representing the relationships between distinct gene families is of great importance in Bioinformatics and has been popularized among the Computer Science researchers in [7] (Ma, Li and Zhang, SIAM J. Comp. 2000) where the authors pose the intriguing question if a certain definition of minimum tree that reconciles a gene...
متن کاملGene tree species tree reconciliation with gene conversion
Gene tree/species tree reconciliation is a recent decisive progress in phylogenetic methods, accounting for the possible differences between gene histories and species histories. Reconciliation consists in explaining these differences by gene-scale events such as duplication, loss, transfer, which translates mathematically into a mapping between gene tree nodes and species tree nodes or branche...
متن کاملBayesian Inconsistency under Misspecification
This is a synopsis of the work underlying the author’s contributed plenary presentation at the Valencia 8 meeting on Bayesian Statistics, held in Benidorm, June 2006. We show that Bayesian inference can be inconsistent under misspecification. Specifically, we exhibit a distribution P ∗, a model M with P ∗ 6∈ M, and a prior Π on M such that the prior puts significant mass on P̃ , the best approxi...
