The power of relative rates tests depends on the data.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Mar 2000

Bromham L, Penny D, Rambaut A, Hendy M D

Abstract excerpt

One of the most useful features of molecular phylogenetic analyses is the potential for estimating dates of divergence of evolutionary lineages from the DNA of extant species. But lineage-specific variation in rate of molecular evolution complicates molecular dating, because a calibration rate estimated from one lineage may not be an accurate representation of the rate in other lineages. Many molecular dating...
