Journal ArticleDOI

VSEARCH: a versatile open source tool for metagenomics

TL;DR: VSEARCH is here shown to be more accurate than USEARCH when performing searching, clustering, chimera detection and subsampling, while on a par with US EARCH for paired-ends read merging and dereplication.
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

RAxML-NG: a fast, scalable and user-friendly tool for maximum likelihood phylogenetic inference.

TL;DR: RAxML-NG is presented, a from-scratch re-implementation of the established greedy tree search algorithm of RAxML/ExaML, which offers improved accuracy, flexibility, speed, scalability, and usability compared with RAx ML/ exaML.
Journal ArticleDOI

ModelTest-NG: a new and scalable tool for the selection of DNA and protein evolutionary models

TL;DR: ModelTest-NG is a reimplementation from scratch of jModelTest and ProtTest, two popular tools for selecting the best-fit nucleotide and amino acid substitution models, respectively, and introduces several new features, such as ascertainment bias correction, mixture, and free-rate models, or the automatic processing of single partitions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-rate Poisson tree processes for single-locus species delimitation under maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo

TL;DR: The multi‐rate PTP is introduced, an improved method that alleviates the theoretical and technical shortcomings of PTP and consistently yields more accurate delimitations with respect to the taxonomy (i.e., identifies more taxonomic species, infers species numbers closer to theTaxonomy).
