An Integrative Approach for Phylogenetic Inference (original) (raw)

Abstract-In the past research efforts on computational phylogenetic analysis were dedicated to the design of heuristics which can quickly find near-optimal trees under a specific optimization criterion. However, all criteria are over-simplified and cannot realistically model the real evolution process. Thus all existing algorithms for phylogenetic analysis have their limitations. It has become a serious issue for many important real-life applications which often demand accurate results from phylogenetic analysis.
