Improving the performance of Bayesian phylogenetic inference under relaxed clock models

Abstract Background Bayesian MCMC has become a common approach for phylogenetic inference. But the growing size of molecular sequence data sets has created a pressing need to improve the computational efficiency of Bayesian phylogenetic inference algorithms. Results This paper develops a new algorit...
