Influence of sample variance on the phylogenetic reconstruction of protein sequences

Published: 26 October 2011 Publication History

Abstract

This study deals with the influence of sample variance of evolutionary distance estimation on phylogeny reconstruction of protein sequences. We modified the currently used methods by more precise calculation of the sample variance depending on the type of sequences and the used evolutionary model to eliminate this influence.
