New Paper: The influence of rate heterogeneity among sites on the time dependence of molecular rates

A new paper involving Environment Institute members , and as well as Mike Steel (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Canterbury), Michael Lee (SA Museum), Stepane Guindon (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Auckland) and Simon Ho (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Sydney) has recently been published in the journal .

The paper titled uses mathematical modelling and Bayesian analyses of simulated sequence alignments to explore how mutational hotspots can lead to time-dependent rate estimates. The results suggest that data partitioning or simple non-parametric mixture models of RHAS significantly improve the accuracy with which node ages and substitution rates can be estimated.
