Short branch attraction in phylogenomic inference under the multispecies coalescent

Accurate reconstruction of species trees often relies on the quality of input gene trees estimated from molecular sequences. Previous studies suggested that if the sequence length is fixed, the maximum likelihood may produce biased gene trees which subsequently mislead inference of species trees. Tw...
