This site is devoted to my interest in bioinformatics, especially phylogenetic analysis and macroevolution.
In April 2011 I started work at the Centre for Theoretical Biology in Gothenburg. I will be working on phylogenetic methods for dealing with allopolyploids.

Here is a note which calculates a density for node times in a birth-death-sampling model.
Here is a note about distributions for rate matrix priors for substitution models for nucleotides. It shows how the full 12-parameter model, the GTR model, HKY model, and Kimura's model can be viewed as nested vector spaces in log-rate space.
My other web site, with my artwork, is at at www.gjones.name.
