SUMAC: Constructing Phylogenetic Supermatrices and Assessing Partially Decisive Taxon Coverage
The amount of phylogenetically informative sequence data in GenBank is growing at an exponential rate, and large phylogenetic trees are increasingly used in research. Tools are needed to construct phylogenetic sequence matrices from GenBank data and evaluate the effect of missing data. Supermatrix Constructor (SUMAC) is a tool to data-mine GenBank, construct phylogenetic supermatrices, and asse...
متن کاملCharacterizing phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage
Increasingly, biologists are constructing evolutionary trees on large numbers of overlapping sets of taxa, and then combining them into a ‘supertree’ that classifies all the taxa. In this paper, we ask how much coverage of the total set of taxa is required by these subsets in order to ensure that we have enough information to reconstruct the supertree uniquely. We describe two results — a combi...
متن کاملPerfect taxon sampling and phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage
In a recent study, Steel and Sanderson defined and characterized phylogenetically decisive sets of taxon sets. A set is called phylogenetically decisive if regardless of the trees chosen for each of its taxon sets, as long as these trees are compatible with one another, their supertree is always unique. This implies that the sampled taxon sets always lead to a unique supertree, regardless what ...
متن کاملAssessing Phylogenetic Relationships among Galliformes: A Multigene Phylogeny with Expanded Taxon Sampling in Phasianidae
Galliform birds (relatives of the chicken and turkey) have attracted substantial attention due to their importance to society and value as model systems. This makes understanding the evolutionary history of Galliformes, especially the species-rich family Phasianidae, particularly interesting and important for comparative studies in this group. Previous studies have differed in their conclusions...
متن کاملIncreased taxon sampling greatly reduces phylogenetic error.
Several authors have argued recently that extensive taxon sampling has a positive and important effect on the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates. However, other authors have argued that there is little benefit of extensive taxon sampling, and so phylogenetic problems can or should be reduced to a few exemplar taxa as a means of reducing the computational complexity of the phylogenetic analysis....
