If you use aBSREL in your analysis, please cite the following: Smith, MD et al. Due to multiple testing, the exploratory approach has much lower power compared to the other approach. In this scenario, p-values at each branch must be corrected for multiple testing (using the Holm-Bonferroni correction). Perform an exploratory analysis where all branches are tested for positive selection.Test a specific hypothesis by a priori selecting a set of "foreground" branches to test for positive selection.

Specifically, aBSREL uses AIC c (small sample AIC) to infer the optimal number of rate classes for each branch.Īfter aBSREL fits the full adaptive model, the Likelihood Ratio Test is performed at each branch and compares the full model to a null model where branches are not allowed to have rate classes of. aBSREL, by contrast, acknowledges that different branches may feature more or less complex evolutionary patterns and hence may be better modeled by more or fewer classes. For example, the earlier HyPhy branch-site approach (BS-REL) assumed three rate classes for each branch and assigned each site, with some probability, to one of these classes. Instead, aBSREL will test, for each branch (or branch of interest) in the phylogeny, whether a proportion of sites have evolved under positive selection.ĪBSREL differs from other branch-site model implementations by inferring the optimal number of classes for each branch. aBSREL, however, does not test for selection at specific sites. As such, aBSREL models both site-level and branch-level heterogeneity. aBSREL #ĪBSREL ( adaptive Branch- Site Random Effects Likelihood) is an improved version of the commonly-used "branch-site" models, which are used to test if positive selection has occurred on a proportion of branches. For help determining which method best suits your specific needs, follow these guidelines. Here, we provide an overview of each method. HyPhy distributes a variety of methods for inferring the strength of natural selection in your data using the dN/dS metric. Methods for Inferring Selection Pressure #
