Assessing the Validity of the Fixed Tree Topology Assumption in Phylodynamic Inference
Mathieu Fourment, Jiansi Gao, Marc A Suchard +1
Fixed tree topologies are widely used in phylodynamic analyses to reduce computational burden, yet the consequences of this assumption remain insufficiently understood. Here, we sy…

PhyloVAE: Unsupervised Learning of Phylogenetic Trees via Variational Autoencoders
Tianyu Xie, Harry Richman, Jiansi Gao +2
Learning informative representations of phylogenetic tree structures is essential for analyzing evolutionary relationships. Classical distance-based methods have been widely used t…

On the importance of assessing topological convergence in Bayesian phylogenetic inference
Marius Brusselmans, Luiz Max Carvalho, Samuel L. Hong +7
Modern phylogenetics research is often performed within a Bayesian framework, using sampling algorithms such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to approximate the posterior distrib…
