Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There is a definite need for novel
approaches to improve the diagnostics and treatment of cancers. The pathological …

Statistical signal processing applications usually require the estimation of some parameters
of interest given a set of observed data. These estimates are typically obtained either by …

Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for
Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With …

Phylogenetic inference and evaluating support for inferred relationships is at the core of
many studies testing evolutionary hypotheses. Despite the popularity of nonparametric …

The increase in the number of large data sets and the complexity of current probabilistic
sequence evolution models necessitates fast and reliable phylogeny reconstruction …

The program MRBAYES performs Bayesian inference of phylogeny using a variant of
Markov chain Monte Carlo. Availability: MRBAYES, including the source code …

Scientists need new tools to explore and browse large collections of scholarly literature.
Thanks to organizations such as JSTOR, which scan and index the original bound archives …

Evolutionary biologists have adopted simple likelihood models for purposes of estimating
ancestral states and evaluating character independence on specified phylogenies; however …

Abstract Model selection is a topic of special relevance in molecular phylogenetics that
affects many, if not all, stages of phylogenetic inference. Here we discuss some fundamental …

We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular
data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as …
