Bootstrapping Phylogenetic Trees: Theory and Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a survey of the use of the bootstrap in the area of systematic and evolutionary biology. I present the current usage by biologists of the bootstrap as a tool both for making inferences and for evaluating robustness, and propose a framework for thinking about these problems in terms of mathematical statistics.

Phylogenetic trees are constructed frequently in biological research to provide an understanding of the evolutionary history of the organisms being studied. Often, the actual phylogenetic tree is unknown and the phylogenetic tree constructed is an estimate. There are many methods of phylogenetic tree construction which fall into two main categories: distance-based methods and character-based me...
متن کاملSDBP: An easy-to-use R program package for assessing reliability of estimated phylogenetic trees based on the speedy double bootstrap method
Evaluating the reliability of estimated phylogenetic trees is of critical importance in the field of molecular phylogenetics, and for other endeavors that depend on accurate phylogenetic reconstruction. The bootstrap method is a well-known computational approach to assessing phylogenetic trees, and more generally for assessing the reliability of statistical models. However, it is known to be bi...
متن کاملSupertree bootstrapping methods for assessing phylogenetic variation among genes in genome-scale data sets.
Nonparamtric bootstrapping methods may be useful for assessing confidence in a supertree inference. We examined the performance of two supertree bootstrapping methods on four published data sets that each include sequence data from more than 100 genes. In "input tree bootstrapping," input gene trees are sampled with replacement and then combined in replicate supertree analyses; in "stratified b...
متن کاملA justification for reporting the majority-rule consensus tree in Bayesian phylogenetics.
Systematists must frequently deal with substantial uncertainty in their phylogenetic estimates. Nonparametric bootstrapping (59) and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations used for Bayesian phylogenetic inference (65; 64; 60) are two of the most popular computational approaches for assessing support for different parts of a phylogenetic tree. Both of these techniques produce large collecti...
متن کاملMajority-rule reduced consensus trees and their use in bootstrapping.
Bootstrap analyses are usually summarized with majority-rule component consensus trees. This consensus method is based on replicated components and, like all component consensus methods, it is insensitive to other kinds of agreement between trees. Recently developed reduced consensus methods can be used to summarize much additional agreement on hypothesised phylogenetic relationships among mult...
