The number of genome sequences available for different pathogens has in- creased dramatically over the last couple of years. Existing traditional meth- ods for phylodynamic analysis scale poorly with the number of sequences. Therefore, efficient heuristics are needed to cope with the growing data sets available today. In this work, an approximate maximum-likelihood framework for phy- lodynamic analysis is developed. Its main purpose has been to estimate divergence times in large sequence alignments of rapidly evolving organ- isms. In addition, it provides a functionality to estimate ancestral states, infer evolution models, re-root trees to maximize temporal signals, and es- timate molecular clock phylogenies and population size h...
