Individual gene trees for 1,394 single copy orthologs across 15 reptile species, three birds, and four mammals were used to estimate a species phylogeny. The 15 reptile species used were Varanus komod
Phylogenetic branch lengths are essential for many analyses, such as estimating divergence times, analyzing rate changes, and studying adaptation. However, true gene tree heterogeneity due to incomple
In phylogenetic studies, the evolution of molecular sequences is assumed to have taken place along the phylogeny traced by the ancestors of extant species. In the presence of lateral gene transfer (LG
