Abstract
This note announces pamlX, a graphical user interface/front end for the paml (for Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum Likelihood) program package (Yang Z. 1997. PAML: a program package for phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood. Comput Appl Biosci. 13:555-556; Yang Z. 2007. PAML 4: Phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood. Mol Biol Evol. 24:1586-1591). pamlX is written in C++ using the Qt library and communicates with paml programs through files. It can be used to create, edit, and print control files for paml programs and to launch paml runs. The interface is available for free download at http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/software/paml.html.

EasyCodeML: A visual tool for analysis of selection using CodeML.

TL;DR: A wrapper tool named EasyCodeML is presented that provides a user‐friendly graphical interface for using CodeML and allows visualized, interactive tree labelling, which greatly simplifies the use of the branch, branch‐site, and clade models of selection.

Improving recombinant Rubisco biogenesis, plant photosynthesis and growth by coexpressing its ancillary RAF1 chaperone

TL;DR: It is shown that the increase in Rubisco biogenesis translated to improvements in leaf photosynthesis and growth of the plants, and the likely need for such interaction specificity to be considered when optimizing recombinant Rubisco bioengineering in plants.

Phylogenomics — principles, opportunities and pitfalls of big‐data phylogenetics

TL;DR: An entry-level overview of the phylogenomic pipeline can be very complex, presenting an overwhelming array of methodologies available for the acquisition, manipulation, analysis and interpretation of massive datasets.

Tyrosine Hydroxylation in Betalain Pigment Biosynthesis Is Performed by Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Beets (Beta vulgaris).

TL;DR: Functional data and ancestral character state reconstructions indicate that tyrosine hydroxylation alone was the most likely ancestral function of the CYP76AD alpha and beta groups and the ability to convert L-DOPA to cyclo- DOPA evolved later in the alpha group.

PAML 4: Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum Likelihood

TL;DR: PAML, currently in version 4, is a package of programs for phylogenetic analyses of DNA and protein sequences using maximum likelihood (ML), which can be used to estimate parameters in models of sequence evolution and to test interesting biological hypotheses.

PAML: a program package for phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood

TL;DR: The strength of PAML, in comparison with other phylogenetic packages currently available, is its implementation of a variety of evolutionary models, which include several models of variable evolutionary rates among sites, models for combined analyses of multiple gene sequence data and models for amino acid sequences.

Multiple Comparisons of Log-Likelihoods with Applications to Phylogenetic Inference

TL;DR: A modification of the KH test to take into account a multiplicity of testings is presented, which shows how the test was designed for comparing two topologies but is often used for comparing many topologies.

Evaluation of the maximum likelihood estimate of the evolutionary tree topologies from DNA sequence data, and the branching order in hominoidea

TL;DR: A new method for estimating the variance of the difference between log likelihood of different tree topologies is developed by expressing it explicitly in order to evaluate the maximum likelihood branching order among Hominoidea.
