Quasi-birth-and-death processes evolving within trees: Applications to comparative phylogenetics
Habtu Kiros Nigus, Barbara R. Holland, Malgorzata M. O'Reilly
We consider a quasi-birth-and-process (QBD) that duplicates itself at some fixed times within a tree that contains information about duplication times and potentially partially obs…

Modelling gene content across a phylogeny to determine when genes become associated
Jiahao Diao, Malgorzata M. O'Reilly, Barbara R. Holland
In this work, we develop a stochastic model of gene gain and loss with the aim of inferring when (if at all) in evolutionary history and association between two genes arises. The d…

Albert Ch. Soewongsono, Barbara R. Holland, Malgorzata M. O'Reilly
There have been many studies to examine whether one trait is correlated with another trait across a group of present-day species (for example, do species with larger brains tend to…
