TreeSAAP: selection on amino acid properties using phylogenetic trees.
TL;DR: The software program TreeSAAP measures the selective influences on 31 structural and biochemical amino acid properties during cladogenesis, and performs goodness-of-fit and categorical statistical tests.
Data set incongruence and correlated character evolution: an example of functional convergence in the hind-limbs of stifftail diving ducks.
TL;DR: Mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences of eight stifftail species traditionally supposed to form a clade were compared with each other and with sequences from 50 other anseriform and galliform species and demonstrate how the concept of natural data partitions and simple models of evolution can be used to test the accuracy of independent phylogenetic estimates and provide arguments in favor of one tree topology over another.

Detecting molecular selection on single amino acid replacements
TL;DR: The effects of population sampling and sliding window size on the sensitivity of one amino acid based method by assessing drug resistant SNPs from the HIV-1 gag-pol gene were evaluated.
