Fox: Predicting rates of host-symbiont co-evolution events with association-aware attention
Motivation: Hosts and their symbionts share a history of associations in which lineages cospeciate, switch hosts, duplicate, or are lost. Quantifying the relative frequencies of these four events is a central goal of cophylogenetics, but existing tools typically require a fully resolved, correctly rooted host tree, often alongside a symbiont tree, propagating tree-inference errors into the…
