To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …

Motivation: Phylogenies are increasingly used in all fields of medical and biological
research. Because of the next generation sequencing revolution, datasets used for …

Abstract We introduce the Phylogenetic Likelihood Library (PLL), a highly optimized
application programming interface for develo** likelihood-based phylogenetic inference …

Motivation: Due to advances in molecular sequencing and the increasingly rapid collection
of molecular data, the field of phyloinformatics is transforming into a computational science …

The molecular data avalanche generated by novel wet-lab sequencing technologies allows
for reconstructing phylogenies (evolutionary trees) using hundreds of complete genomes as …

The execution times of likelihood-based phylogenetic inference tools for Maximum
Likelihood or Bayesian inference are dominated by the Phylogenetic Likelihood Function …

Highly optimized library implementations for important scientific kernels can improve
scientific productivity. To this end, we are currently develo** the Phylogenetic Likelihood …

Motivated by load balance issues in parallel calculations of the phylogenetic likelihood
function we address the problem of distributing divisible items to a given number of bins. The …

We present a substantially improved and parallelized version of DPPDiv, a software tool for
estimating species divergence times and lineage-specific substitution rates on a fixed tree …

Motivated by load balance issues in parallel calculations of the phylogenetic likelihood
function, we recently introduced an approximation algorithm for efficiently distributing …
