Trees from trees: construction of phylogenetic supertrees using clann.
Supertree methods combine multiple phylogenetic trees to produce the overall best "supertree." They can be used to combine phylogenetic information from datasets only partially overlapping and from disparate sources (like molecular and morphological data), or to break down problems thought to be computationally intractable. Some of the longest standing phylogenetic conundrums are now being brou...
متن کاملA likelihood look at the supermatrix-supertree controversy.
Supermatrix and supertree methods are two strategies advocated for phylogenetic analysis of sequence data from multiple gene loci, especially when some species are missing at some loci. The supermatrix method concatenates sequences from multiple genes into a data supermatrix for phylogenetic analysis, and ignores differences in evolutionary dynamics among the genes. The supertree method analyze...
متن کاملSupertree Analysis of the Plant Family Fabaceae
The “Tree-of-Life” is a national and international project to collect information about the origin, evolution, and diversity of organisms, with the goal of producing a tree of all life on Earth (Pennisi, 2003). The obstacles to achieving this goal are many. From questions related to the kinds and number of data to be used, to building that phylogeny, to the methodological and computational reso...
متن کاملTrees versus characters and the supertree/supermatrix "paradox".
In a pair of recent articles, Gatesy and colleagues (Gatesy et al., 2002, 2004; also Gatesy and Springer, 2004) have strongly criticized several recent supertree studies. In so doing, they have pointed out important, but correctable, shortcomings in how the supertree approach was applied in specific instances, and have helped to fine-tune the methodology of this comparatively young field. Howev...
متن کاملAssessment of the accuracy of matrix representation with parsimony analysis supertree construction.
Despite the growing popularity of supertree construction for combining phylogenetic information to produce more inclusive phylogenies, large-scale performance testing of this method has not been done. Through simulation, we tested the accuracy of the most widely used supertree method, matrix representation with parsimony analysis (MRP), with respect to a (maximum parsimony) total evidence solut...
