Abstract excerpt
Branch length estimation is a fundamental problem in statistical phylogenetics and a core component of tree reconstruction algorithms. Traditionally, general time-reversible mutation models are employed, and many software tools exist for this scenario. With the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 lineage tracing technologies, there has been significant interest in the study of branch length estimation under irreversible...
