Mirage: A phylogenetic mixture model to reconstruct gene-content evolutionary history using a realistic evolutionary rate model

Reconstruction of gene-content evolutionary history is an essential approach for understanding how complex biological systems have been organized. However, the existing gene-content evolutionary models cannot formulate complex and heterogeneous gene gain/loss processes, which reflect diverse evolutionary events and greatly depend on gene families. In this study, we developed Mirage (MIxture model…
