Rooting phylogenetic trees under the coalescent model using site pattern probabilities

Abstract Background Phylogenetic tree inference is a fundamental tool to estimate ancestor-descendant relationships among different species. In phylogenetic studies, identification of the root - the most recent common ancestor of all sampled organisms - is essential for complete understanding of the...
