Monte Carlo simulation in phylogenies: an application to test the constancy of evolutionary rates.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Mar 1994

Adell J C, Dopazo J

Abstract excerpt

Monte Carlo simulation has commonly been used in phylogenetic studies to test different tree-reconstruction methods, and consequently, its application for testing evolutionary models can be considered as a natural extension of this usage. Repetitive simulation of a given evolutionary process, und...
