PhyloAcc-GT: A Bayesian method for inferringpatterns of substitution rate shifts and associations with binary traits under gene tree discordance

H. Yan, Z. Hu, G. Thomas, S. V. Edwards, T. B. Sackton, J. S. Liu

PhyloAcc-GT improves upon PhyloAcc by accounting for gene tree discordance due to incomplete lineage sorting, enhancing accuracy in detecting substitution rate shifts linked to specific lineages.

Bayesian detection of convergent rate changes of conserved noncoding elements on phylogenetic trees

Z. Hu, T. B. Sackton, S. V. Edwards, J. S. Liu

This paper introduces PhyloAcc, a Bayesian method to detect substitution rate changes in conserved noncoding elements across phylogenies, showing improved accuracy over existing methods in identifying rate shifts associated with convergent phenotypes.

Convergent regulatory evolution and the origin of flightlessness in palaeognathous birds

T. B. Sackton, P. Grayson, A. Cloutier, Z. Hu, J. S. Liu, N. E. Wheeler, P. P. Gardner, J. A. Clarke, A. J. Baker, M. Clamp, S. V. Edwards

This study shows that convergent flightlessness in palaeognathous birds is associated with regulatory changes rather than protein-coding gene evolution.
