RY-Coding and Non-Homogeneous Models Can Ameliorate the Maximum-Likelihood Inferences from Nucleotide Sequence Data with Parallel Compositional Heterogeneity

In phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequences, ‘homogeneous’ substitution models, which assume the stationarity of base composition across a tree, are widely used, albeit individual sequences may bear distinctive base frequencies. In the worst-case scenario, a homogeneous model-based analysis can...
