McDaniel J, Patel V, Olson N, He H, He Z, Cole K, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39345378
The Genome in a Bottle Consortium (GIAB), hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is developing new matched tumor-normal samples, the first to be explicitly consented for...

mSystems . 2021 Mar; 6(2). PMID: 33727399
Standard workflows for analyzing microbiomes often include the creation and curation of phylogenetic trees. Here we present EMPress, an interactive web tool for visualizing trees in the context of microbiome,...

Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2020 Jun; 151:106892. PMID: 32562819
Sabellida is a well-known clade containing tube-dwelling annelid worms with a radiolar crown. Iterative phylogenetic analyses over three decades have resulted in three main clades being recognized; Fabriciidae, Serpulidae and...

Zhu Q, Mai U, Pfeiffer W, Janssen S, Asnicar F, Sanders J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2019 Dec; 10(1):5477. PMID: 31792218
Rapid growth of genome data provides opportunities for updating microbial evolutionary relationships, but this is challenged by the discordant evolution of individual genes. Here we build a reference phylogeny of...

Sayyari E, Kawas B, Mirarab S
Bioinformatics . 2019 Sep; 35(14):i31-i40. PMID: 31510701
Motivation: Learning associations of traits with the microbial composition of a set of samples is a fundamental goal in microbiome studies. Recently, machine learning methods have been explored for this...

Rabiee M, Sayyari E, Mirarab S
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2018 Nov; 130:286-296. PMID: 30393186
Genome-wide phylogeny reconstruction is becoming increasingly common, and one driving factor behind these phylogenomic studies is the promise that the potential discordance between gene trees and the species tree can...

Zhang C, Rabiee M, Sayyari E, Mirarab S
BMC Bioinformatics . 2018 May; 19(Suppl 6):153. PMID: 29745866
Background: Evolutionary histories can be discordant across the genome, and such discordances need to be considered in reconstructing the species phylogeny. ASTRAL is one of the leading methods for inferring...

Sayyari E, Mirarab S
Genes (Basel) . 2018 Mar; 9(3). PMID: 29495636
Phylogenetic species trees typically represent the speciation history as a bifurcating tree. Speciation events that simultaneously create more than two descendants, thereby creating in the phylogeny, are possible. Moreover, the...

Sayyari E, Whitfield J, Mirarab S
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2018 Feb; 122:110-115. PMID: 29421312
Phylogenomics has ushered in an age of discordance. Analyses often reveal abundant discordances among phylogenies of different parts of genomes, as well as incongruences between species trees obtained using different...

Sayyari E, Whitfield J, Mirarab S
Mol Biol Evol . 2017 Oct; 34(12):3279-3291. PMID: 29029241
Species tree reconstruction from genome-wide data is increasingly being attempted, in most cases using a two-step approach of first estimating individual gene trees and then summarizing them to obtain a...
