Bayesian methods have become very popular in molecular phylogenetics due to the
availability of user-friendly software for running sophisticated models of evolution. However …

Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare.
However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse …

Fungi have the capacity to cause devastating diseases of both plants and animals, causing
significant harvest losses that threaten food security and human mycoses with high mortality …

Abstract Model-based molecular phylogenetics plays an important role in comparisons of
genomic data, and model selection is a key step in all such analyses. We present …

Cattle domestication and the complex histories of East Asian cattle breeds warrant further
investigation. Through analysing the genomes of 49 modern breeds and eight East Asian …

In phylogenetic analyses of molecular sequence data, partitioning involves estimating
independent models of molecular evolution for different sets of sites in a sequence …

The rich fossil record of equids has made them a model for evolutionary processes. Here we
present a 1.12-times coverage draft genome from a horse bone recovered from permafrost …

The use of probabilistic models of amino acid replacement is essential for the study of
protein evolution, and programs like ProtTest implement different strategies to identify the …

The genomic causes and effects of divergent ecological selection during speciation are still
poorly understood. Here we report the discovery and detailed characterization of early-stage …

How modern humans dispersed into Eurasia and Australasia, including the number of
separate expansions and their timings, is highly debated [1, 2]. Two categories of models …
