The brilliant Prof. Edward Susko gave a great online lecture on modeling heterogeneity in sequence evolution in the phylogenetic context as part of the @phyloseminar.bsky.social series: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1aJ...

Databases may contain lots of misannotated 16S rRNA sequences, which can hinder accurate taxonomic assignment in metabarcoding and metagenomic analyses. We have addressed this issue for Asgard archaea and generated a curated set of high-quality 16S rRNA sequences: academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

1/ Our new paper in Systematic Biology "Modeling Site-and-Branch-Heterogeneity with GFmix" led by @cgpmcc.bsky.social describes improved ways to model compositional heterogeneity across both sites and branches—an important source of error in deep phylogenomics. doi.org/10.1093/sysb...

Modeling Site-and-Branch-Heterogeneity with GFmix

Abstract. Phylogenetic trees are often inferred from protein sequences sampled from diverse taxa across the tree of life. The compositions of these amino a
