Improving divergence time estimation in phylogenetics: more taxa vs. longer sequences.

Statistical applications in genetics and molecular biology - 1 Jan 2007

Svennblad Bodil, Britton Tom

Abstract excerpt

Maximum Likelihood (ML) is used as a standard method for estimating divergence times in phylogenetic trees. The method is consistent and hence the precision can be improved by analyzing longer sequences. In this paper we show that the precision can be improved also by including more taxa to the e...
