Maximum Likelihood Methods for Phylogenetic Inference
In this article, we provide an overview of maximum likelihood methods for phylogenetic inference. A brief introduction to general maximum likelihood estimation is provided. We define a phylogenetic likelihood, summarize how to compute this likelihood, and then discuss approaches used to maximize the phylogenetic likelihood function. We discuss a property of the maximum likelihood estimation, ca...
متن کاملParallelization of the Maximum Likelihood Approach to Phylogenetic Inference
PARALLELIZATION OF THE MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD APPROACH TO PHYLOGENETIC INFERENCE by Janine B. Garnham Supervising Professor: Dr. Muhammad Shaaban Department of Computer Engineering Phylogenetic inference refers to the reconstruction of evolutionary relationships among various species, usually presented in the form of a tree. DNA sequences are most often used to determine these relationships. The re...
متن کاملLikelihood-Based Inference of Phylogenetic Networks from Sequence Data by PhyloDAG
Processes such as hybridization, horizontal gene transfer, and recombination result in reticulation which can be modeled by phylogenetic networks. Earlier likelihood-based methods for inferring phylogenetic networks from sequence data have been encumbered by the computational challenges related to likelihood evaluations. Consequently, they have required that the possible network hypotheses be g...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood inference of population size contractions from microsatellite data.
Understanding the demographic history of populations and species is a central issue in evolutionary biology and molecular ecology. In this work, we develop a maximum-likelihood method for the inference of past changes in population size from microsatellite allelic data. Our method is based on importance sampling of gene genealogies, extended for new mutation models, notably the generalized step...
متن کاملProtein phylogenetic inference using maximum likelihood with a genetic algorithm.
This paper presents a method to construct phylogenetic trees from amino acid sequences. Our method uses a maximum likelihood approach which gives a confidence score for each possible alternative tree. Based on this approach, we developed a genetic algorithm for exploring the best score tree: randomly generated alternative trees are rearranged so that their scores are improved by utilizing cross...
