In this presentation, I explored the Jukes-Cantor model (JC69), a foundational model in molecular evolution that assumes equal mutation rates among all four nucleotides. Under the supervision of Prof.
It has been proposed that supertree approaches should be applied to large multilocus sequence datasets to achieve computational tractability. Large datasets such as those derived from phylogenomics s
The hemipteroid insect orders (Hemiptera, Psocodea, and Thysanoptera) are a diverse group among the insects, including over 120,000 described species. This group contains many species of ecological, e
The reconstruction of the Tree of Life has relied almost entirely on concatenation methods, which do not accommodate gene tree heterogeneity, a property that simulations and theory have identified as
