Maximum likelihood methods are used to estimate the phylogenetic trees for a set of species. The probabilities of DNA base substitutions are modeled by continuous-time Markov chains. We use these probabilities to estimate which DNA bases would produce the data that we observe. The topology of the tree is also determined using base substitution probabilities and conditional likelihoods. Felsenstein [2] introduced this method of finding an estimate for the maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree. We will explore this method in detail in this paper.

We present research on the design, development and application of algorithms for DNA sequence analysis, with a focus on environmental DNA (metagenomes). We present an overview and primer on algorithm development for bioinformatics of metagenomes; work on frameshift detection in DNA sequencing data; work on a computational pipeline for the assembly, feature prediction, annotation and analysis of bacterial genomes; work on unsupervised phylogenetic clustering of metagenomic fragments using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods; and work on estimation of bacterial genome plasticity and diversity, potential improvements to the measures of core and pan-genomes.
