[HTML][HTML] OrthoFinder: phylogenetic orthology inference for comparative genomics
Here, we present a major advance of the OrthoFinder method. This extends OrthoFinder's
high accuracy orthogroup inference to provide phylogenetic inference of orthologs, rooted …

[HTML][HTML] ASTRAL-III: polynomial time species tree reconstruction from partially resolved gene trees
Background Evolutionary histories can be discordant across the genome, and such
discordances need to be considered in reconstructing the species phylogeny. ASTRAL is …

Fast coalescent-based computation of local branch support from quartet frequencies
Species tree reconstruction is complicated by effects of incomplete lineage sorting,
commonly modeled by the multi-species coalescent model (MSC). While there has been …

[HTML][HTML] A comprehensive and dated phylogenomic analysis of butterflies
Summary Butterflies (Papilionoidea), with over 18,000 described species [1], have
captivated naturalists and scientists for centuries. They play a central role in the study of …

ASTRAL-II: coalescent-based species tree estimation with many hundreds of taxa and thousands of genes
Motivation: The estimation of species phylogenies requires multiple loci, since different loci
can have different trees due to incomplete lineage sorting, modeled by the multi-species …
