PhyloNet-HMM

PhyloNet-HMM consists of a statistical model and associated inference method for analyzing complex evolutionary scenarios, especially non-tree-like evolutionary scenarios. PhyloNet-HMM combines phylogenetic networks, which capture complex evolutionary relationships among genomes, with hidden Markov models, which capture dependencies within genomes, in a novel manner. The performance of PhyloNet-HMM was validated using simulated and empirical data sets that included tree-like and non-tree-like evolutionary scenarios.
