Ancestral state reconstruction with large numbers of sequences and edge-length estimation.

Abstract excerpt

Likelihood-based methods are widely considered the best approaches for reconstructing ancestral states. Although much effort has been made to study properties of these methods, previous works often assume that both the tree topology and edge lengths are known. In some scenarios the tree topology might be reasonably well known for the taxa under study. When sequence length is much smaller than the number of...
