BEAGLE 3: Improved Performance, Scaling, and Usability for a High-Performance Computing Library for Statistical Phylogenetics

open access: yesSystematic Biology, 2019
BEAGLE is a high-performance likelihood-calculation library for phylogenetic inference. The BEAGLE library defines a simple, but flexible, application programming interface (API), and includes a collection of efficient implementations for calculation ...

The effects of fossil taxa, hypothetical predicted ancestors, and a molecular scaffold on pseudoextinction analyses of extant placental orders.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Pseudoextinction analyses, which simulate extinction in extant taxa, use molecular phylogenetics to assess the accuracy of morphological phylogenetics. Previous pseudoextinction analyses have shown a failure of morphological phylogenetics to place some ...

DAMBE6: New Tools for Microbial Genomics, Phylogenetics, and Molecular Evolution

open access: yesJournal of Heredity, 2017
DAMBE is a comprehensive software workbench for data analysis in molecular biology, phylogenetics, and evolution. Several important new functions have been added since version 5 of DAMBE: 1) comprehensive genomic profiling of translation initiation ...

Phylogenomics — principles, opportunities and pitfalls of big‐data phylogenetics

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, 2019
Phylogenetics is the science of reconstructing the evolutionary history of life on Earth. Traditionally, phylogenies were constructed using morphological data only, but the introduction of Sanger sequencing and PCR in the late 1970s enabled genetic ...

Marginal Likelihoods in Phylogenetics: A Review of Methods and Applications [PDF]

open access: yesSystematic Biology, 2018
By providing a framework of accounting for the shared ancestry inherent to all life, phylogenetics is becoming the statistical foundation of biology.

The phylogenetic regression

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1989
A new statistical method called the phylogenetic regression is proposed that applies multiple regression techniques to cross-species data. It allows continuous and categorical variables to be tested for and controlled for. The new method is valid despite the problem that phylogenetically close species tend to be similar, and is designed to be used when

Hippo pathway phylogenetics predicts monoubiquitylation of Salvador and Merlin/Nf2. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Recently we employed phylogenetics to predict that the cellular interpretation of TGF-β signals is modulated by monoubiquitylation cycles affecting the Smad4 signal transducer/tumor suppressor. This prediction was subsequently validated by experiments in

Molecular Phylogenetics

open access: yesEncyclopedia of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2019
We report here the discovery of a remarkable new monotypic mygalomorph spider genus, known only from one geographical location along the central coast of California. The single relict species comprising Cryptocteniza kawtak n. gen. n. sp.

An Annealed Sequential Monte Carlo Method for Bayesian Phylogenetics. [PDF]

open access: yesSystematic Biology, 2018
We describe an "embarrassingly parallel" method for Bayesian phylogenetic inference, annealed Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), based on recent advances in the SMC literature such as adaptive determination of annealing parameters.

The Molecular Phylogeny of Land Plants: Progress and Future Prospects

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Phylogenetics has become a powerful tool in many areas of biology. Land plants are the most important primary producers of terrestrial ecosystems and have colonized various habitats on Earth.
