Alignment- and Alignment-refining Algorithms: Effects on Branch-length Estimation and Selection Pattern Analyses
… of multiple-sequence alignment quality on branch-length estimation, which can influence downstream bioinformatic analyses such as estimating rates of evolution and divergence times. To quantify the accuracy of branch-length estimates, I devised a scale-free measure of branch length …

Modeling the effects of site-specific amino-acid preferences on protein evolution.
… on phylogenetic inference, specifically branch length estimation. A long-standing observation in phylogenetics is that long branches in phylogenetic trees are consistently underestimated. I found that site-specific ExpCMs estimated longer branches than a common site-uniform codon model …
