Gene Tree Affects Inference of Sites under Selection by the Branch-Site Test of Positive Selection
The branch-site test of positive selection is a standard approach to detect past episodic positive selection in a priori-specified branches of a gene phylogeny. Here, we ask if differences in the topology of the gene tree have any influence on the ability to infer positively selected sites. Using si...
