Phylogenetic models of rate heterogeneity: a high performance computing perspective
Inference of phylogenetic trees using the maximum likelihood (ML) method is NP-hard. Furthermore, the computation of the likelihood function for huge trees of more than 1,000 orga...

An Investigation of Phylogenetic Likelihood Methods
Abstract— We analyze the performance of likelihoodbased approaches used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees. Unlike other techniques such as Neighbor-Joining (NJ) and Maximum Parsi...

An improved method for identifying functionally linked proteins using phylogenetic profiles
Background: Phylogenetic profiles record the occurrence of homologs of genes across fully sequenced organisms. Proteins with similar profiles are typically components of protein c...

Detecting lateral gene transfers by statistical reconciliation of phylogenetic forests
Background: To understand the evolutionary role of Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT), accurate methods are needed to identify transferred genes and infer their timing of acquisition. Ph...
