42 Influence of the tree topology Mutual Information: Long branches many true positives correlations Short branches few true positives correlations Many false positives omparative analysis ignores the phylogenetic information in the sequences, it tends to overestimate the amount of covariation between two positions.

44 onclusion Including phylogenetic information in comparative analysis is potential useful Phylogeny can help to choose sequences for structure prediction methods: Statistical study is necessary. How looks the optimal tree for comparative structure prediction methods, with and without thermodynamics? Method for Reconstructing Dependencies with Phylogenetic Trees Self-consistent method, where no threshold is needed.

45 Extension of SISSI SISSI is not limited to F8 types of rate matrices E.g. inclusion of a transition-transversion parameter Inclusion of codon position-specific heterogeneity Studies with tertiary interactions Inclusion of mixture models Inclusion of energy values Inclusion of indels
