Incorporating gene-specific variation when inferring and evaluating optimal evolutionary tree topologies from multilocus sequence data.

Abstract excerpt

Because of the increase of genomic data, multiple genes are often available for the inference of phylogenetic relationships. The simple approach for combining multiple genes from the same taxon is to concatenate the sequences and then ignore the fact that different positions in the concatenated sequence came from different genes. Here, we discuss two criteria for inferring the optimal tree topology from data sets...
