A New Effective Method for Estimating Missing Values in the Sequence Data Prior to Phylogenetic Analysis

In this article we address the problem of phylogenetic inference from nucleic acid data containing missing bases. We introduce a new effective approach, called “Probabilistic estimation of missing values” (PEMV), allowing one to estimate unknown nucleotides prior to computing the evolutionary distan...
