Split probabilities and species tree inference under the multispecies coalescent model
Elizabeth S. Allman, James H. Degnan, John A. Rhodes
Using topological summaries of gene trees as a basis for species tree inference is a promising approach to obtain acceptable speed on genomic-scale datasets, and to avoid some unde…
