Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships that unite all lineages (the tree of life) is a grand
challenge. The paucity of homologous character data across disparately related lineages …

In many domains the rapid generation of large amounts of data is fundamentally changing
how research is done. The deluge of data presents great opportunities, but also many …

As an archive of sequence data for over 165,000 species, GenBank is an indispensable
resource for phylogenetic inference. Here we describe an informatics processing pipeline and …

Several methods have recently been developed to infer multilocus phylogenies by incorporating
information from topological incongruence of the individual genes. In this study, we …

Fossils provide the principal basis for temporal calibrations, which are critical to the accuracy
of divergence dating analyses. Translating fossil data into minimum and maximum bounds …

Despite knowledge that polyploidy is widespread and a major evolutionary force in flowering
plant diversification, detailed comparative molecular studies on polyploidy have been …

Motivation: Phylogenetic estimates from published studies can be archived using general
platforms like Dryad (Vision, 2010) or TreeBASE (Sanderson et al., 1994). Such services fulfill …

Phylogenetic trees are a crucial backbone for a wide breadth of biological research spanning
systematics, organismal biology, ecology, and medicine. In 2015, the Open Tree of Life …

Bayesian inference of phylogeny is unique among phylogenetic reconstruction methods in
that it produces a posterior distribution of trees rather than a point estimate of the best tree. …
