Statistical evidence for common ancestry: Application to primates
David A. Baum,Cécile Ané,Bret Larget,Claudia Solis-Lemus,Lam Si Tung Ho,Peggy Boone,Chloe P. Drummond,Martin Bontrager,Steven J. Hunter,William Saucier +9 more
TL;DR: A diversity of statistical methods using data from the primates are explored, including one that tests for phylogenetic autocorrelation while correcting for variation due to confounding ecological traits and a method for examining whether fossil taxa have fewer derived differences than living taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of transgenomics as a tool for identifying genes involved in the evolutionary differentiation of closely related plant species.
Raul Correa,John Stanga,Bret Larget,Aaron P. Roznowski,Guoping Shu,Brian P. Dilkes,David A. Baum +6 more
TL;DR: 11_11B can be viewed as a potential speciation gene, illustrating the value of transgenomics for studying the molecular basis of reproductive isolation and methods to reduce false positives and false negatives in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phantom species: adjusting estimates of colonization and extinction for pseudo‐turnover
Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-functional analyzer uses parameter constraints to improve the efficiency of model-based gene-set analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a model-based methodology for integrating gene-set information with an experimentally-derived gene list is developed, which takes advantage of natural constraints in the high-dimensional discrete parameter space in order to work from a more structured prior distribution than is currently available.
