RelTime Relaxes the Strict Molecular Clock throughout the Phylogeny.

Abstract excerpt

The RelTime method estimates divergence times when evolutionary rates vary among lineages. Theoretical analyses show that RelTime relaxes the strict molecular clock throughout a molecular phylogeny, and it performs well in the analyses of empirical and computer simulated data sets in which evolutionary rates are variable. Lozano-Fernandez et al. (2017) found that the application of RelTime to one metazoan data...
