Non-vertical Evolution, Ancestral Recombiation Graphs, and
Bayesian Statistics.
Abstract: In the past ten years, advances in computing technology and
Bayesian statistics have revolutionized the field of statistical
phylogenetics. By allowing for more complex and realistic models,
statistical phylogenetics can now more adequately model and analyze genetic datasets. In particular, Bayesian phylogenetic models have better handled the problem of putative recombination inference and detection. In this talk, I will review some of our group's research on Bayesian phylogenetic models for recombination. Afterward, I will discuss and present some of our current work regarding Ancestral Recombination Graphs.
