FastTree 2--approximately maximum-likelihood trees for large alignments.

TL;DR: Improvements to FastTree are described that improve its accuracy without sacrificing scalability, and FastTree 2 allows the inference of maximum-likelihood phylogenies for huge alignments.
Journal ArticleDOI

FastTree: Computing Large Minimum Evolution Trees with Profiles instead of a Distance Matrix

TL;DR: FastTree is a method for constructing large phylogenies and for estimating their reliability, instead of storing a distance matrix, that uses sequence profiles of internal nodes in the tree to implement Neighbor-Joining and uses heuristics to quickly identify candidate joins.
Journal Article

Fast Tree: Computing Large Minimum-Evolution Trees with Profiles instead of a Distance Matrix

TL;DR: FastTree as mentioned in this paper uses sequence profiles of internal nodes in the tree to implement neighbor-joining and uses heuristics to quickly identify candidate joins, then uses nearest-neighbor interchanges to reduce the length of the tree.

The draft genome of Ciona intestinalis : insights into chordate and vertebrate origins

Paramvir S. Dehal, +89 more
- 13 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: A draft of the protein-coding portion of the genome of the most studied ascidian, Ciona intestinalis, is generated, suggesting that ascidians contain the basic ancestral complement of genes involved in cell signaling and development.
