Testing the accuracy of methods for reconstructing ancestral states of continuous characters [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 Many methods are available for estimating ancestral values of continuous characteristics, but little is known about how well these methods perform. Here we compare six methods: linear parsimony, squared-change parsimony, one-parameter maximum likelihood (Brownian motion), two-parameter maximum likelihood (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process), and independent ...

GASP: gapped ancestral sequence prediction for proteins
, 2004 Background: the prediction of ancestral protein sequences from multiple sequence alignments is useful for many bioinformatics analyses. Predicting ancestral sequences is not a simple procedure and relies on accurate alignments and phylogenies.

Understanding phenotypical character evolution in parmelioid lichenized fungi (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Parmelioid lichens form a species-rich group of predominantly foliose and fruticose lichenized fungi encompassing a broad range of morphological and chemical diversity.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 Inferred ancestral nucleotide states are increasingly employed in analyses of within- and between -species genome variation. Although numerous studies have focused on ancestral inference among distantly related lineages, approaches to infer ancestral ...

Use of Isotope Ratio Determination (13C/12C) to Assess the Production Method of Sparkling Wine
CHIMIA, 2016 The production of a sparkling wine can be performed with different methods taking from a few weeks to several years, which often justifies a difference in added value for the consumer.

Ancestral inference and the study of codon bias evolution: implications for molecular evolutionary analyses of the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Reliable inference of ancestral sequences can be critical to identifying both patterns and causes of molecular evolution. Robustness of ancestral inference is often assumed among closely related species, but tests of this assumption have been limited ...

Identifying Climatic Drivers of Hybridization with a New Ancestral Niche Reconstruction Method
Systematic Biology, 2023 Abstract Applications of molecular phylogenetic approaches have uncovered evidence of hybridization across numerous clades of life, yet the environmental factors responsible for driving opportunities for hybridization remain obscure. Verbal models implicating geographic range shifts that brought species together during the Pleistocene ...

Structures of hyperstable ancestral haloalkane dehalogenases show restricted conformational dynamics
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020 Ancestral sequence reconstruction is a powerful method for inferring ancestors of modern enzymes and for studying structure–function relationships of enzymes.
