Impact of taxon sampling on the estimation of rates of evolution at sites.

Abstract excerpt

The function of individual sites within a protein influences their rate of accepted point mutation. During the computation of phylogenetic likelihoods, rate heterogeneity can be modeled on a site-per-site basis with relative rates drawn from a discretized Gamma-distribution. Site-rate estimates (e.g., the rate of highest posterior probability given the data at a site) can then be used as a measure of evolutionary...
