A simple, fast, and accurate algorithm to estimate large phylogenies by maximum likelihood.
- S. Guindon, O. Gascuel
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 October 2003
The increase in the number of large data sets and the complexity of current probabilistic sequence evolution models necessitates fast and reliable phylogeny reconstruction methods. We describe a new… Expand
New algorithms and methods to estimate maximum-likelihood phylogenies: assessing the performance of PhyML 3.0.

We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as a… Expand
SMS: Smart Model Selection in PhyML

- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 11 May 2017
Abstract Model selection using likelihood-based criteria (e.g., AIC) is one of the first steps in phylogenetic analysis. One must select both a substitution matrix and a model for rates across sites.… Expand
Estimating maximum likelihood phylogenies with PhyML.

- 2009
Our understanding of the origins, the functions and/or the structures of biological sequences strongly depends on our ability to decipher the mechanisms of molecular evolution. These complex… Expand
