Reconciling molecular phylogenies with the fossil record.
Historical patterns of species diversity inferred from phylogenies typically contradict the direct evidence found in the fossil record. According to the fossil record, species frequently go extinct, and many clades experience periods of dramatic diversity loss. However, most analyses of molecular phylogenies fail to identify any periods of declining diversity, and they typically infer low level...
متن کاملBAli-Phy: simultaneous Bayesian inference of alignment and phylogeny
SUMMARY BAli-Phy is a Bayesian posterior sampler that employs Markov chain Monte Carlo to explore the joint space of alignment and phylogeny given molecular sequence data. Simultaneous estimation eliminates bias toward inaccurate alignment guide-trees, employs more sophisticated substitution models during alignment and automatically utilizes information in shared insertion/deletions to help inf...
متن کاملReview of the Applications of Exponential Family in Statistical Inference
In this paper, after introducing exponential family and a history of work done by researchers in the field of statistics, some applications of this family in statistical inference especially in estimation problem,statistical hypothesis testing and statistical information theory concepts will be discussed.
متن کاملConcordance and discordance of sequence survey methods for molecular epidemiology
The post-genomic era is characterized by the direct acquisition and analysis of genomic data with many applications, including the enhancement of the understanding of microbial epidemiology and pathology. However, there are a number of molecular approaches to survey pathogen diversity, and the impact of these different approaches on parameter estimation and inference are not entirely clear. We ...
متن کاملTESS: Bayesian inference of lineage diversification rates from (incompletely sampled) molecular phylogenies in R
Summary:Many fundamental questions in evolutionary biology entail estimating rates of lineage diversification (speciation – extinction). We develop a flexible Bayesian framework for specifying an effectively infinite array of diversification models—where rates are constant, vary continuously, or change episodically through time—and implement numerical methods to estimate parameters of these mod...
