pplacer: linear time maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic placement of sequences onto a fixed reference tree
Background: Likelihood-based phylogenetic inference is generally considered to be the most reliable classification method for unknown sequences. However, traditional likelihood-ba...

Phylogenetic models of rate heterogeneity: a high performance computing perspective
Inference of phylogenetic trees using the maximum likelihood (ML) method is NP-hard. Furthermore, the computation of the likelihood function for huge trees of more than 1,000 orga...

Parallelizing the Phylogeny Problem
The problem of determining the evolutionary history of species in the form of phylogenetic trees is known as the phylogeny problem. We present a parallelization of the character c...
