Workshop: Phylogenetic approaches to diversification Inferring evolutionary past from phylogenetic tree shapes
s of posters • Krzysztof Bartoszek (Chalmers U., Gothenburg) Conditioned branching processes and phenotype evolution Abstract. Conditioned branching processes have recently received a lot of attention in the biomathematical literature. They are useful for modelling and developing software in the field of phylogenetic tree inference. However on top of this they can also be combined with continuo...
متن کاملInferring Phylogenetic Trees Using Evolutionary Algorithms
We consider the problem of estimating the evolutionary history of a collection of organisms in terms of a phylogenetic tree. This is a hard combinatorial optimization problem for which different EA approaches are proposed and evaluated. Using two problem instances of different sizes, it is shown that an EA that directly encodes trees and uses ad-hoc operators performs better than several decode...
متن کاملInferring the root of a phylogenetic tree.
Phylogenetic trees can be rooted by a number of criteria. Here, we introduce a Bayesian method for inferring the root of a phylogenetic tree by using one of several criteria: the outgroup, molecular clock, and nonreversible model of DNA substitution. We perform simulation analyses to examine the relative ability of these three criteria to correctly identify the root of the tree. The outgroup an...
متن کاملapTreeshape: statistical analysis of phylogenetic tree shape
apTreeshape is a R package dedicated to simulation and analysis of phylogenetic tree topologies using statistical imbalance measures. It is a companion library of the R package 'ape', which provides additional functions for reading, plotting, manipulating phylogenetic trees and for connecting to public phylogenetic tree databases. One strength of the package is to include appropriate correction...
متن کاملLocating evolutionary precursors on a phylogenetic tree.
Conspicuous innovations in the history of life are often preceded by more cryptic genetic and developmental precursors. In many cases, these appear to be associated with recurring origins of very similar traits in close relatives (parallelisms) or striking convergences separated by deep time (deep homologies). Although the phylogenetic distribution of gain and loss of traits hints strongly at t...
