Phylogenetic distances for neighbour dependent substitution processes.
We consider models of nucleotidic substitution processes where the rate of substitution at a given site depends on the state of the neighbours of the site. We first estimate the time elapsed between an ancestral sequence at stationarity and a present sequence. Second, assuming that two sequences are issued from a common ancestral sequence at stationarity, we estimate the time since divergence. ...
متن کاملAlgebraic distances for phylogenetic trees
We propose several new distances for phylogenetic trees based on two new algebraic representations of them as permutations and as monomial ideals.
متن کاملPhylogenetic estimation of context-dependent substitution rates by maximum likelihood.
Nucleotide substitution in both coding and noncoding regions is context-dependent, in the sense that substitution rates depend on the identity of neighboring bases. Context-dependent substitution has been modeled in the case of two sequences and an unrooted phylogenetic tree, but it has only been accommodated in limited ways with more general phylogenies. In this article, extensions are present...
متن کاملNodal distances for rooted phylogenetic trees
Dissimilarity measures for (possibly weighted) phylogenetic trees based on the comparison of their vectors of path lengths between pairs of taxa, have been present in the systematics literature since the early seventies. For rooted phylogenetic trees, however, these vectors can only separate non-weighted binary trees, and therefore these dissimilarity measures are metrics only on this class of ...
متن کاملNew substitution models for rooting phylogenetic trees
The root of a phylogenetic tree is fundamental to its biological interpretation, but standard substitution models do not provide any information on its position. Here, we describe two recently developed models that relax the usual assumptions of stationarity and reversibility, thereby facilitating root inference without the need for an outgroup. We compare the performance of these models on a c...
