Revisiting a random model of lateral gene transfer in phylogenetics
Laura Kubatko, Simone Linz, Kristina Wicke
Processes such as incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and reticulate evolution (arising, for example, from hybridization and lateral gene transfer (LGT)) are known to cause discordanc…
Effects of discordance between species and gene trees on phylogenetic diversity conservation
Kristina Wicke, Mareike Fischer, Laura Kubatko
Phylogenetic diversity indices such as the Fair Proportion (FP) index are frequently discussed as prioritization criteria in biodiversity conservation. They rank species according…
Classes of Explicit Phylogenetic Networks and their Biological and Mathematical Significance
Sungsik Kong, Joan Carles Pons, Laura Kubatko +1
The evolutionary relationships among organisms have traditionally been represented using rooted phylogenetic trees. However, due to reticulate processes such as hybridization or la…
Bayesian Weighted Triplet and Quartet Methods for Species Tree Inference
Andrew Richards, Laura Kubatko
Inference of the evolutionary histories of species, commonly represented by a species tree, is complicated by the divergent evolutionary history of different parts of the genome. D…
Bayesian Inference of Selection in the Wright-Fisher Diffusion Model
Jeffrey J. Gory, Radu Herbei, Laura S. Kubatko
The increasing availability of population-level allele frequency data across one or more related populations necessitates the development of methods that can efficiently estimate p…
The effect of gene flow on coalescent-based species-tree inference
Colby Long, Laura Kubatko
Most current methods for inferring species-level phylogenies under the coalescent model assume that no gene flow occurs following speciation. While some studies have examined the i…
Identifiability and Reconstructibility of Species Phylogenies Under a Modified Coalescent
Colby Long, Laura Kubatko
Coalescent models of evolution account for incomplete lineage sorting by specifying a species tree parameter which determines a distribution on gene trees. It has been shown that t…
Split scores: a tool to quantify phylogenetic signal in genome-scale data
Elizabeth S. Allman, Laura S. Kubatko, John A. Rhodes
Detecting variation in the evolutionary process along chromosomes is increasingly important as whole-genome data becomes more widely available. For example, factors such as incompl…
Identifiability of the unrooted species tree topology under the coalescent model with time-reversible substitution processes, site-specific rate variation, and invariable sites
Julia Chifman, Laura Kubatko
The inference of the evolutionary history of a collection of organisms is a problem of fundamental importance in evolutionary biology. The abundance of DNA sequence data arising fr…
