The Multi-Processor Scheduling Problem in Phylogenetics

Advances in wet-lab sequencing techniques allow for sequencing between 100 genomes up to 1000 full transcriptomes of species whose evolutionary relationships shall be disentangled by means of phylogenetic analyses. Likelihood-based evolutionary models allow for partitioning such broad phylogenomic datasets, for instance into gene regions, for which likelihood model parameters (except for the tree itself) can be estimated independently.
