Learn about phylogenomic tree estimation in this comprehensive tutorial lecture from the Computational Genomics Summer Institute 2024, exploring advanced methods and recent developments in species tree inference. Delve into cutting-edge techniques including ASTRAL for genome-scale coalescent-based estimation, DISCO for multicopy gene family tree decomposition, and QR-STAR for polynomial-time statistically consistent tree rooting. Examine the latest research in phylogenomic branch length estimation using quartets and optimal tree metric matching. Master key concepts in handling gene duplication, loss, and incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) while studying recent progress in estimating and updating large phylogenies. Connect theoretical foundations with practical applications through exploration of multiple peer-reviewed research papers that have shaped the field of computational phylogenetics.
