Incorporating alignment uncertainty into Felsenstein's phylogenetic bootstrap to improve its reliability.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) | 2021

Most evolutionary analyses are based on pre-estimated multiple sequence alignment. Wong et al. established the existence of an uncertainty induced by multiple sequence alignment when reconstructing phylogenies. They were able to show that in many cases different aligners produce different phylogenies, with no simple objective criterion sufficient to distinguish among these alternatives.
