Show abstract
We introduce the 12th version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software. This latest version brings many significant improvements by reducing the computational time needed for selecting optimal substitution models and conducting bootstrap tests on phylogenies using maximum likelihood (ML) methods. These improvements are achieved by implementing heuristics that minimize likely unnecessary computations. Analyses of empirical and simulated datasets show substantial time savings by using these heuristics without compromising the accuracy of results. MEGA12 also implements an evolutionary sparse learning approach to identify fragile clades and associated sequences in evolutionary trees inferred through phylogenomic analyses. In addition, this version includes fine-grained parallelization for ML analyses, support for high-resolution monitors, and an enhanced Tree Explorer. The MEGA12 beta version can be downloaded from https://www.megasoftware.net/beta_download.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
