The impact of the rate prior on Bayesian estimation of divergence times with multiple Loci.
(2014-07)
Bayesian methods provide a powerful way to estimate species divergence times by combining information from molecular sequences with information from the fossil record. With the explosive increase of genomic data, divergence ...
Molecular evolutionary characterization of a V1R subfamily unique to strepsirrhine primates.
(2014-01)
Vomeronasal receptor genes have frequently been invoked as integral to the establishment and maintenance of species boundaries among mammals due to the elaborate one-to-one correspondence between semiochemical signals and ...
Using Phylogenomic Data to Explore the Effects of Relaxed Clocks and Calibration Strategies on Divergence Time Estimation: Primates as a Test Case.
(2018-07-01)
Primates have long been a test case for the development of phylogenetic methods for divergence time estimation. Despite a large number of studies, however, the timing of origination of crown Primates relative to the ...
Bayesian Molecular Clock Dating Using Genome-Scale Datasets.
(2019)
Bayesian methods for molecular clock dating of species divergences have been greatly developed during the past decade. Advantages of the methods include the use of relaxed-clock models to describe evolutionary rate variation ...
