Reconciliation of Gene Trees with Species Trees Using ecceTERA

Reconciliation analyses performed on fully dated species trees and full sets of ultrafast bootstraps for all gene trees. The dataset was created by Zhanghan Ni and last updated on May 14, 2026. It contains results from using ecceTERA v1.2.5 to identify gene duplications, losses, transfers, and speciation events.

Use Cases

• Identify gene duplication events based on reconciled gene and species trees.
• Analyze horizontal gene transfer events using the 'transfers from the dead' parameter.
• Calculate mean dates for evolutionary events based on node confidence intervals.
• Study gene loss and speciation patterns from phylogenetic reconciliation.

Strengths

• Analysis performed on fully dated species trees, providing temporal context.
• Used full sets of ultrafast bootstraps for all gene trees, which likely accounts for phylogenetic uncertainty.
• Dataset size is 292.7 MB, indicating a substantial volume of reconciliation results.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.

Collection Method

Gene trees were reconciled with species trees using ecceTERA v1.2.5 with default settings, amalgamate=true, and transfers from the dead turned on.
