A likelihood method for detecting trait-dependent shifts in the rate of molecular evolution.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2011

Mayrose Itay, Otto Sarah P

Abstract excerpt

Rate heterogeneity within groups of organisms is known to exist even when closely related taxa are examined. A wide variety of phylogenetic and dating methods have been developed that aim either to test for the existence of rate variation or to correct for its bias. However, none of the existing methods track the evolution of features that account for observed rate heterogeneity. Here, we present a likelihood...
