ForeSeqs: Prediction of missing sequences and branch lengths
About
ForeSeqs is a tool for predicting sequences and branch lengths in data sets with whole missing partitions. Missing data usually lead to wrong phylogenetic inferences, since branches leading to unexistent taxa can have arbitrary lengths. Terraces in the phylogenetic tree space is another problem derived from missing taxa. Even though this problem can be avoided by linking branch lengths across partitions, the missing data can affect the phylogenetic inferences.
