Hypothesis tests for phylogenetic quartets, with applications to coalescent-based species tree inference.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous statistical methods have been developed to estimate evolutionary relationships among a collection of present-day species, typically represented by a phylogenetic tree, using the information contained in the DNA sequences sampled from representatives of each species. In the current era of high-throughput genome sequencing, the models underlying such methods have become increasingly sophisticated, and the...
