Approximate Bayesian computation for Markovian binary trees in phylogenetics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Phylogenetic trees describe the relationships between species in the evolutionary process, and provide information about the rates of diversification. To understand the mechanisms behind macroevolution, we consider a class of multitype branching processes called Markovian binary trees (MBTs).

Complete mitochondrial genome of Takydromus kuehnei (Squamata: Takydromus) and its phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Takydromus kuehnei Van Denburgh, 1909 (Squamata: Takydromus). This mitogenome was 17,224 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA ...
