TY - JOUR T1 - Computing the Internode Certainty and related measures from partial gene trees JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/022053 SP - 022053 AU - Kassian Kobert AU - Leonidas Salichos AU - Antonis Rokas AU - Alexandros Stamatakis Y1 - 2015/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/07/06/022053.abstract N2 - We present, implement, and evaluate an approach to calculate the internode certainty and tree certainty on a given reference tree from a collection of partial gene trees. Previously, the calculation of these values was only possible from a collection of gene trees with exactly the same taxon set as the reference tree. An application to sets of partial gene trees requires mathematical corrections in the internode certainty and tree certainty calculations. We implement our methods in RAxML and test them on empirical data sets. These tests imply that the inclusion of partial trees does matter. However, in order to provide meaningful measurements, any data set should also contain comprehensive trees. ER -
