Molecular phylogenetic analyses and real-life data
Most probably, all life existing today on earth shares a common ancestry billions of years back in the past. A set of indispensable genes necessary for maintenance of basic cell functions were passed on from the unknown common ancestor to its extant descendants by asexual and/or sexual reproduction. During the course of evolution, the genes, the numbers of genes, their functions and the sizes o...
متن کاملTroubleshooting Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses
■ Abstract The number, size, and scope of phylogenetic analyses using molecular data has increased steadily in recent years. This has simultaneously led to a dramatic improvement in our understanding of phylogenetic relationships and a better appreciation for an array of methodological problems that continue to hinder progress in phylogenetic studies of certain data sets and/or particular parts...
متن کاملMolecular phylogenetic analyses of Bryozoa , Brachiopoda , and Phoronida Dissertation
Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses of seven concatenated fragments of nuclear-encoded housekeeping genes indicate that Lophotrochozoa is monophyletic, i.e., the lophophorate groups Bryozoa, Brachiopoda and Phoronida are more closely related to molluscs and annelids than to Deuterostomia or Ecdysozoa. Lophophorates themselves, however, form a polyphyletic assemblage. The hypothes...
متن کاملSignal, noise, and reliability in molecular phylogenetic analyses.
DNA sequences and other molecular data compared among organisms may contain phylogenetic signal, or they may be randomized with respect to phylogenetic history. Some method is needed to distinguish phylogenetic signal from random noise to avoid analysis of data that have been randomized with respect to the historical relationships of the taxa being compared. We analyzed 8,000 random data matric...
متن کاملMissing data and the design of phylogenetic analyses
Concerns about the deleterious effects of missing data may often determine which characters and taxa are included in phylogenetic analyses. For example, researchers may exclude taxa lacking data for some genes or exclude a gene lacking data in some taxa. Yet, there may be very little evidence to support these decisions. In this paper, I review the effects of missing data on phylogenetic analyse...
