AST: an automated sequence-sampling method for improving the taxonomic diversity of gene phylogenetic trees.

A challenge in phylogenetic inference of gene trees is how to properly sample a large pool of homologous sequences to derive a good representative subset of sequences. Such a need arises in various applications, e.g. when (1) accuracy-oriented phylogenetic reconstruction methods may not be able to d...
