Statistical Genetics
Research Interests:

My research interests include phylogenetics, modeling biological data, statistical analysis of molecular data, and parallel computing. I am particularly interested in reconstructing species phylogenies from multilocus sequences.

I and my colleagues have developed several phylogenetic methods for estimating the evolutionary history of species.

Liang Liu

The desire to infer the evolutionary history of a group of species (species tree) should be more viable now that a considerable amount of multilocus molecular data is available. In this talk, I will introduce three statistical methods for reconstructing species trees under the multispecies coalescent model. The Bayesian method can estimate the topology, species…
