BEAGLE in Action: Phylogenetic Likelihoods for Very Large State Spaces

Benjamin D Redelings, April Wright, Karthik Gangavarapu +9

Computing phylogenetic likelihoods becomes challenging when the continuous-time Markov chain has a large state space. At each branch, pruning algorithms require terms of the form $…

BEAGLE 4.1: A high-performance library for computation on phylogenetic trees across diverse parallel architectures

Karthik Gangavarapu, Xiang Ji, Yucai Shao +4

Efficient evaluation of sequence data likelihoods and their high-dimensional gradients on phylogenetic trees improves inference under both maximum-likelihood and Bayesian framework…

Many-core algorithms for high-dimensional gradients on phylogenetic trees

Karthik Gangavarapu, Xiang Ji, Guy Baele +4

The rapid growth in genomic pathogen data spurs the need for efficient inference techniques, such as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) in a Bayesian framework, to estimate parameters o…

Automatic differentiation is no panacea for phylogenetic gradient computation

Mathieu Fourment, Christiaan J. Swanepoel, Jared G. Galloway +4

Gradients of probabilistic model likelihoods with respect to their parameters are essential for modern computational statistics and machine learning. These calculations are readily…

Branch: An interactive, web-based tool for testing hypotheses and developing predictive models

Karthik Gangavarapu, Vyshakh Babji, Tobias Meißner +2

Branch is a web application that provides users with no programming with the ability to interact directly with large biomedical datasets. The interaction is mediated through a coll…
