Low-parameter phylogenetic inference under the general markov model.
In their 2008 and 2009 articles, Sumner and colleagues introduced the "squangles"-a small set of Markov invariants for phylogenetic quartets. The squangles are consistent with the general Markov (GM) model and can be used to infer quartets without the need to explicitly estimate all parameters. As the GM model is inhomogeneous and hence nonstationary, the squangles are expected to perform well ...

متن کاملPhylogenetic inference under the pure drift model.
When pairwise genetic distances are used for phylogenetic reconstruction, it is usually assumed that the genetic distance between two taxa contains information about the time after the two taxa diverged. As a result, upon an appropriate transformation if necessary, the distance usually can be fitted to a linear model such that it is expressed as the sum of lengths of all branches that connect t...
متن کاملPhylogenetic ideals and varieties for the general Markov model
The general Markov model of the evolution of biological sequences along a tree leads to a parameterization of an algebraic variety. Understanding this variety and the polynomials, called phylogenetic invariants, which vanish on it, is a problem within the broader area of Algebraic Statistics. For an arbitrary trivalent tree, we determine the full ideal of invariants for the 2-state model, estab...
متن کاملBayesian Phylogenetic Inference under a Statistical Insertion-Deletion Model
A central problem in computational biology is the inference of phylogeny given a set of DNA or protein sequences. Currently, this problem is tackled stepwise, with phylogenetic reconstruction dependent on an initial multiple sequence alignment step. However these two steps are fundamentally interdependent. Whether the main interest is in sequence alignment or phylogeny, a major goal of computat...
