Relaxed Phylogenetics and Dating with Confidence
In phylogenetics, the unrooted model of phylogeny and the strict molecular clock model are two extremes of a continuum. Despite their dominance in phylogenetic inference, it is ...
Estimation of Primate Speciation Dates Using Local Molecular Clocks
Protein-coding genes of the mitochondrial genomes from 31 mammalian species were analyzed to estimate the speciation dates within primates and also between rats and mice. Three ...
Vagaries of the molecular clock
The hypothesis of the molecular evolutionary clock asserts that informational macromolecules (i.e., proteins and nucleic acids) evolve at rates that are constant through time an...
Effects of Models of Rate Evolution on Estimation of Divergence Dates with Special Reference to the Metazoan 18S Ribosomal RNA Phylogeny
The molecular clock, i.e., constancy of the rate of evolution over time, is commonly assumed in estimating divergence dates. However, this assumption is often violated and has d...
One thousand plant transcriptomes and the phylogenomics of green plants
Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species1,2 of great diversity and have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the On...
