A frequency-dependent significance test for parsimony.

Abstract excerpt

We describe techniques for assessing evolutionary trees constructed by the parsimony criteria, when sequences exhibit irregular base compositions. In particular, we extend a recently described frequency-dependent significance test to handle any number of taxa and describe a modification of the Kishino-Hasegawa sites test. These modifications are useful for detecting historical signals beyond those patterns which...
