TreeDT: gene mapping by tree disequilibrium test
We introduce and evaluate TreeDT, a novel gene mapping method which is based on discovering and assessing tree-like patterns in genetic marker data. Gene mapping aims at discoveri...

A Study on the Empirical Support for Prior Distributions on Phylogenetic Tree Topologies
: There are several models for the evolutionary process forming a species tree. We examine the Birth-and-Death model (BDM), the Proportional-to-Distinguishable Arrangements (PDA) m...

Confounding Factors in HGT Detection: Statistical Error, Coalescent Effects, and Multiple Solutions
Prokaryotic organisms share genetic material across species boundaries by means of a process known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This process has great significance for unde...

DLIGHT - Lateral Gene Transfer Detection Using Pairwise Evolutionary Distances in a Statistical Framework
Abstract. This paper presents an algorithm to detect lateral gene transfer (LGT) on the basis of pairwise evolutionary distances. The prediction is made from a likelihood ratio der...
