Background The nonparametric bootstrap is widely used to measure the branch support of phylogenetic trees. However, bootstrapping is computationally expensive and remains a bottleneck in phylogenetic analyses. Recently, an ultrafast bootstrap approximation (UFBoot) approach was proposed for maximum likelihood analyses. However, such an approach is still missing for maximum parsimony. Results To...
Reconstructing maximum parsimony (MP) trees along with bootstrap for large multiple sequence alignments is a computationally challenging task. In this paper, we present MPBoot, a new method for approximating MP bootstrap based on the idea of a previously introduced method for maximum likelihood bootstrap. MPBoot economizes the computations by only sampling trees on the original alignment and simultaneously...
Genealogies estimated from haplotypic genetic data play a prominent role in various biological disciplines in general and in phylogenetics, population genetics and phylogeography in particular. Several software packages have specifically been developed for the purpose of reconstructing genealogies from closely related, and hence, highly similar haplotype sequence data. Here, we use simulated data...
