Coalescent-based branch length estimation improves dating of species trees

This paper introduces a scalable pipeline for dating species trees that improves accuracy and scalability by addressing gene tree discordance in multi-locus datasets.

Branch Length Transforms using Optimal Tree Metric Matching.

This paper introduces a method to match branch lengths between trees, improving accuracy in phylogenomic analyses by addressing the challenges of heterogeneous branch length measurements.

Species tree branch length estimation despite incomplete lineage sorting, duplication, and loss

This paper introduces CASTLES-Pro, a method for estimating species tree branch lengths that accounts for gene duplication, loss, and incomplete lineage sorting, showing improved accuracy over existing methods.

Advances in Estimating Level-1 Phylogenetic Networks from Unrooted SNPs

This paper introduces a polynomial time quartet-based method for reconstructing unrooted level-1 phylogenetic networks from SNPs, proving its correctness and statistical consistency.

DISCO+QR: Rooting Species Trees in the Presence of GDL and ILS

DISCO+QR roots species trees by combining gene duplication loss and incomplete lineage sorting, showing varying accuracy depending on dataset properties.

Statistically Consistent Rooting of Species Trees under the Multi-Species Coalescent Model

The paper introduces QR-STAR, a method to statistically consistently root species trees under the multispecies coalescent model, improving on previous methods.
