TOPAL 2.0: improved detection of mosaic sequences within multiple
alignments.
Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 16 (2):
130--4 (February 2000)Abstract
The Dss statistic was proposed by McGuire et al. (Mol. Biol. Evol.,
14, 1125-1131, 1997) for scanning data sets for the presence of recombination,
an important step in some phylogenetic analyses. The statistic, however,
could not distinguish well between among-site rate variation and
recombination, and had no statistical test for significant values.
This paper addresses these shortfalls.
