Rapid and Accurate Large-Scale Coestimation of Sequence Alignments and Phylogenetic Trees
Abstract
Rapid Tree Building: Phylogenetic reconstruction is used to determine the relationships between organisms and requires an accurate alignment and analysis of multiple sequences. Iterative rounds of alignment and tree building are often necessary to prevent errors in the phylogeny estimate. One such way to address this problem is to assess alignment and trees in a single step. However, efficient algorithms to analyze data sets of reasonable size have been lacking. Liu et al. (p. 1561 ; see the Perspective by Löytynoja and Goldman ) describe an iterative approach that simultaneously incorporates both alignment and phylogeny and applies a fast maximum likelihood algorithm to the tree-building part. By assembling the components of the methods in this way, accurate results were obtained for up to 1000 sequences. Thus, it is possible to produce coestimation of sequence alignment and phylogeny that is both rapid and accurate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
