The evolutionary processes vary among sites of an alignment that strongly affect the accuracy of phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Partitioning an alignment into sub-alignments of sites such that the evolutionary processes at sites in the same sub-alignment are highly similar is a proper strategy. Gene features might be used as reasonable indicators to partition an alignment. However, the gene feature information is not always available or efficient Computational partitioning methods like iterative k-means has been proposed to automatically partition sites into groups based on the similarity of evolutionary rates of sites. Despite obtaining compelling results in terms of AICc and BIC ...
