Point estimates in phylogenetic reconstructions
MOTIVATION The construction of statistics for summarizing posterior samples returned by a Bayesian phylogenetic study has so far been hindered by the poor geometric insights available into the space of phylogenetic trees, and ad hoc methods such as the derivation of a consensus tree makeup for the ill-definition of the usual concepts of posterior mean, while bootstrap methods mitigate the absen...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Phylogenetic Reconstructions
Preface As the title implies, the focus of these notes is on ideas and algorithmic methods that are applied when evolutionary relationships are to be reconstructed from molecular sequences or other species-related data. Biological aspects like the molecular basis of evolution or methods of data acquisition and data preparation are not included. A number of textbooks have been published covering...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Phylogenetic Reconstructions
Introduction These lecture notes are the result of a series of lectures given by Martin Vingron (MPI/FU Berlin) and Jens Stoye (Bielefeld University) and a practical course by Hannes Luz (MPI, Berlin). As the title implies, the focus of these notes is on ideas and algorithmic methods that are applied when evolutionary relationships are to be reconstructed from molecular sequences or other speci...
متن کاملDo complex population histories drive higher estimates of substitution rate in phylogenetic reconstructions?
Our curiosity about biodiversity compels us to reconstruct the evolutionary past of species. Molecular evolutionary theory now allows parameterization of mathematically sophisticated and detailed models of DNA evolution, which have resulted in a wealth of phylogenetic histories. But reconstructing how species and population histories have played out is critically dependent on the assumptions we...
متن کاملInfluence function for robust phylogenetic reconstructions.
Based on the computation of the influence function, a tool to measure the impact of each piece of sampled data on the statistical inference of a parameter, we propose to analyze the support of the maximum-likelihood (ML) tree for each site. We provide a new tool for filtering data sets (nucleotides, amino acids, and others) in the context of ML phylogenetic reconstructions. Because different si...
