Phylogenetic Gaussian process model for the inference of functionally important regions in protein tertiary structures.

A critical question in biology is the identification of functionally important amino acid sites in proteins. Because functionally important sites are under stronger purifying selection, site-specific substitution rates tend to be lower than usual at these sites. A large number of phylogenetic models...
