PartitionFinder: Combined Selection of Partitioning Schemes and Substitution Models for Phylogenetic Analyses

TL;DR: Two new objective methods for the combined selection of best-fit partitioning schemes and nucleotide substitution models are described and implemented in an open-source program, PartitionFinder, which it is hoped will encourage the objective selection of partitions and thus lead to improvements in phylogenetic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

PartitionFinder 2: New Methods for Selecting Partitioned Models of Evolution for Molecular and Morphological Phylogenetic Analyses.

TL;DR: PartitionFinder 2 is a program for automatically selecting best-fit partitioning schemes and models of evolution for phylogenetic analyses that includes the ability to analyze morphological datasets, new methods to analyze genome-scale datasets, and new output formats to facilitate interoperability with downstream software.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution

Bernhard Misof, +105 more
- 07 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: The phylogeny of all major insect lineages reveals how and when insects diversified and provides a comprehensive reliable scaffold for future comparative analyses of evolutionary innovations among insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selecting optimal partitioning schemes for phylogenomic datasets

TL;DR: These two novel methods for estimating best-fit partitioning schemes on large phylogenomic datasets are developed: strict and relaxed hierarchical clustering, which provide the best current approaches to inferring partitions on very large datasets.
