nQMaker: estimating time non-reversible amino acid substitution models

Amino acid substitution models are a key component in phylogenetic analyses of protein sequences. All amino acid models available to date are time-reversible, an assumption designed for computational convenience but not for biological reality. Another significant downside to time-reversible models is that they do not allow inference of rooted trees without outgroups. In this paper, we introduce a…
