Phylogenetic methods come of age: testing hypotheses in an evolutionary context.
The use of molecular phylogenies to examine evolutionary questions has become commonplace with the automation of DNA sequencing and the availability of efficient computer programs to perform phylogenetic analyses. The application of computer simulation and likelihood ratio tests to evolutionary hypotheses represents a recent methodological development in this field. Likelihood ratio tests have ...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary and Phylogenetic Study of the BMP15 Gene
DNA sequence data contains a wealth of biologically useful information. Recent innovations in DNA sequencing technology have greatly increased our capacity to determine massive amounts of nucleotide sequences. These sequences can be used to specify the characteristics of different regions, interpret the evolutionary relationships between categorized groups, likelihood of performing multiple com...
متن کاملPhylogenetic estimates of speciation and extinction rates for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses.
Phylogenies are used to estimate rates of speciation and extinction, reconstruct historical diversification scenarios, and link these to ecological and evolutionary factors, such as climate or organismal traits. Recent models can now estimate the effects of binary, multistate, continuous, and biogeographic characters on diversification rates. Others test for diversity dependence (DD) in speciat...
متن کاملHas antifungal susceptibility testing come of age?
The in vitro susceptibility of an infecting organism to the antimicrobial agent selected for therapy is one of several factors that influence the likelihood that therapy for an infection will be successful. To appreciate the value of antifungal susceptibility testing, it is helpful to review the overall predictive utility of antibacterial susceptibility testing. After >30 years of study, in vit...
