Counterbalancing the time-dependence effect on the Human Mitochondrial DNA Molecular Clock

2020-05-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The molecular clock is an important genetic tool for estimating evolutionary timescales. However, the detection of a time-dependent effect on substitution rate estimates complicates its application. It has been suggested that demographic processes could be the main cause of this confounding effect. In the present study, I propose a new algorithm for estimating the coalescent age of phylogenet...
