Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the rate of evolution of the rate of molecular evolution.
TL;DR: A simple model for the evolution of the rate of molecular evolution with a Bayesian approach can serve as the basis for estimating dates of important evolutionary events even in the absence of the assumption of constant rates among evolutionary lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergence time and evolutionary rate estimation with multilocus data.
TL;DR: Bayesian methods for estimating evolutionary divergence times are extended to multigene data sets, and a technique is described for detecting correlated changes in evolutionary rates among genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a Divergence Time Estimation Method under a Probabilistic Model of Rate Evolution
TL;DR: Simulation results demonstrate that the accuracy of divergence time estimation is substantially enhanced when constraints are included and new parameterization more effectively captures the phylogenetic structure of rate evolution on a tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evolutionary model for maximum likelihood alignment of DNA sequences
TL;DR: A parameter-estimation approach which takes into account all possible alignments between two sequences is introduced; the danger of estimating evolutionary parameters from a single alignment is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inching toward reality: an improved likelihood model of sequence evolution.
TL;DR: Parameter estimation and alignment procedures that incorporate generalizations to permit approximate treatment of multiple-base insertions and deletions as well as regional heterogeneity of substitution rates are developed.
