This study evaluates SNaQ's performance on non-level-1 phylogenetic networks and introduces new metrics to assess structural recovery.

GTRspmix improves protein phylogenetics by incorporating multiple exchangeability matrices into mixture models, enhancing fit and reducing long-branch attraction artifacts.

This paper introduces ECToBlob, an algorithm to estimate the tree of blobs from quartet concordance factors, providing a statistically consistent method for inferring phylogenetic networks.

The paper examines allelic variation in tRNA genes across three nematode species, finding high mutation rates and purifying selection, with functional mismatches between tRNA anticodons and amino acids.

The paper analyzes tRNA allelic variation in C. elegans to model how transcription-associated mutagenesis (TAM) influences tRNA microevolution and structural stability.

NANUQ+ improves network inference by resolving multifurcations in Tree of Blobs structures, enabling more detailed network analysis.

This study estimates the root of the eukaryote Tree of Life using mitochondrial proteins, finding it between Opimoda+ and Diphoda+ supergroups.

TINNiK infers the tree of blobs from a species network under the coalescent model using gene quartet distributions, applied to simulated and empirical data.

The paper estimates higher-level phylogenetic networks in Desmognathus salamanders to uncover complex hybridization patterns and ecomorphological speciation mechanisms.

The paper introduces GTRpmix, a model for profile mixture models that improves exchangeability matrix estimation for site-heterogeneous data, enhancing phylogenetic accuracy.

The paper investigates anomalous networks under the multispecies coalescent model, finding that truly anomalous 4-taxon networks are rare but some appear anomalous due to limited gene sampling.

MSCquartets 1.0 provides R tools for species tree and network inference under the multispecies coalescent model using quartet methods.
