Consistency and convergence rate of phylogenetic inference via regularization
It is common in phylogenetics to have some, perhaps partial, information about the overall evolutionary tree of a group of organisms and wish to find an evolutionary tree of a specific gene for those organisms. There may not be enough information in the gene sequences alone to accurately reconstruct the correct “gene tree.” Although the gene tree may deviate from the “species tree” due to a var...
متن کاملEffect of genetic convergence on phylogenetic inference.
Phylogenetic reconstructions are a major component of many studies in evolutionary biology, but their accuracy can be reduced under certain conditions. Recent studies showed that the convergent evolution of some phenotypes resulted from recurrent amino acid substitutions in genes belonging to distant lineages. It has been suggested that these convergent substitutions could bias phylogenetic rec...
متن کاملConsistency, characters, and the likelihood of correct phylogenetic inference.
Computer simulations of character-state evolution in 8, 16, 32, and 64 ingroup taxa with a known set of relationships demonstrate that the maximum probability of correct phylogenetic inference increases with the number of variable (or informative) characters and their consistency index and decreases with the number of taxa, when the consistency index has been standardized to eliminate its depen...
متن کاملConsistency of Bayesian inference of resolved phylogenetic trees
Bayesian inference is now a leading technique for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from aligned sequence data. In this short note, we formally show that the maximum posterior tree topology provides a statistically consistent estimate of a fully resolved evolutionary tree under a wide variety of conditions. This includes the inference of gene trees from aligned sequence data across the entire p...
