Abstract excerpt
A phylogenetic invariant for a model of biological sequence evolution along a phylogenetic tree is a polynomial that vanishes on the expected frequencies of base patterns at the terminal taxa. While the use of these invariants for phylogenetic inference has long been of interest, explicitly constructing such invariants has been problematic. We construct invariants for the general Markov model of kappa-base...
