PhyloMAd: efficient assessment of phylogenomic model adequacy

Statistical phylogenetic inference plays an important role in evolutionary biology. The accuracy of phylogenetic methods relies on having suitable models of the evolutionary process. Various tools allow comparisons of candidate phylogenetic models, but assessing the absolute performance of models remains a considerable challenge. We introduce PhyloMAd, a user-friendly application for assessing the adequacy of commonly used models of nucleotide...
