Relaxed phylogenetics and dating with confidence.

PLoS biology - 1 May 2006

Drummond Alexei J, Ho Simon Y W, Phillips Matthew J, Rambaut Andrew

Abstract excerpt

In phylogenetics, the unrooted model of phylogeny and the strict molecular clock model are two extremes of a continuum. Despite their dominance in phylogenetic inference, it is evident that both are biologically unrealistic and that the real evolutionary process lies between these two extremes. Fortunately, intermediate models employing relaxed molecular clocks have been described. These models open the gate to a...
