Bootstrap method of interior-branch test for phylogenetic trees.
Statistical properties of the bootstrap test of interior branch lengths of phylogenetic trees have been studied and compared with those of the standard interior-branch test in computer simulations. Examination of the properties of the tests under the null hypothesis showed that both tests for an interior branch of a predetermined topology are quite reliable when the distribution of the branch l...
متن کاملInterior-branch and bootstrap tests of phylogenetic trees.
We have compared statistical properties of the interior-branch and bootstrap tests of phylogenetic trees when the neighbor-joining tree-building method is used. For each interior branch of a predetermined topology, the interior-branch and bootstrap tests provide the confidence values, PC and PB, respectively, that indicate the extent of statistical support of the sequence cluster generated by t...
متن کاملBootstrap confidence levels for phylogenetic trees.
Evolutionary trees are often estimated from DNA or RNA sequence data. How much confidence should we have in the estimated trees? In 1985, Felsenstein [Felsenstein, J. (1985) Evolution 39, 783-791] suggested the use of the bootstrap to answer this question. Felsenstein's method, which in concept is a straightforward application of the bootstrap, is widely used, but has been criticized as biased ...
متن کاملMinimising branch crossings in phylogenetic trees
Abstract: While phylogenetic trees are widely used in bioinformatics, one of the major problems is that different dendrograms may be constructed depending on several factors. Albeit numerous quantitative measures to compare two different phylogenetic trees have been proposed, visual comparison is often necessary. Displaying a pair of alternative phylogenetic trees together by finding a proper o...
متن کاملA scale-free method for testing the proportionality of branch lengths between two phylogenetic trees
We introduce a scale-free method for testing the proportionality of branch lengths between two phylogenetic trees that have the same topology and contain the same set of taxa. This method scales both trees to a total length of 1 and sums up the differences for each branch. Compared to previous methods, ours yields a fully symmetrical score that measures proportionality without being affected by...
