A comparison of methods for estimating substitution rates from ancient DNA sequence data.

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Phylogenetic analysis of DNA from modern and ancient samples allows the reconstruction of important demographic and evolutionary processes. A critical component of these analyses is the estimation of evolutionary rates, which can be calibrated using information about the ages of the samples. However, the reliability of these rate estimates can be negatively affected by among-lineage rate variation and...
