the debates over concatenation and coalescent models in phylogenomic data analysis. A …

To what extent current limits of phylogenomics can be overcome?

P Simion, F Delsuc, H Philippe - Phylogenetics in the genomic era, 2020 - hal.science
Current phylogenomic methods are still a long way from implementing a realistic genome
evolution model. An ideal approach would require a general joint analysis of genomic …
