Analysis of Long Branch Extraction
Long branch attraction is a problem that afflicts phylogenetic methods and a procedure to detect a data set suffering from this problem is the long branch extraction method[1]. This method has been well cited and used by many authors for their analysis but no strong validation has been performed as to its accuracy. We performed such an analysis by an extensive search of the branch length search...
متن کاملLong-Branch Attraction Bias and Inconsistency in Bayesian Phylogenetics
Bayesian inference (BI) of phylogenetic relationships uses the same probabilistic models of evolution as its precursor maximum likelihood (ML), so BI has generally been assumed to share ML's desirable statistical properties, such as largely unbiased inference of topology given an accurate model and increasingly reliable inferences as the amount of data increases. Here we show that BI, unlike ML...
متن کاملStrepsiptera, Phylogenomics and the Long Branch Attraction Problem
Insect phylogeny has recently been the focus of renewed interest as advances in sequencing techniques make it possible to rapidly generate large amounts of genomic or transcriptomic data for a species of interest. However, large numbers of markers are not sufficient to guarantee accurate phylogenetic reconstruction, and the choice of the model of sequence evolution as well as adequate taxonomic...
متن کاملEvolution: Hidden at the End of a Very Long Branch
DNA-based methods continue to unveil the diversity and evolutionary origins of life on Earth. 'Next generation' methods have just solved a long-standing puzzle by uncovering previously unseen yet globally distributed diversity within a lineage of amitochondriate parasites affecting commercially exploited aquatic hosts. This discovery will impact both pure and applied research fields.
متن کاملCan incomplete taxa rescue phylogenetic analyses from long-branch attraction?
Taxon sampling may be critically important for phylogenetic accuracy because adding taxa can help to subdivide misleading long branches. Although the idea that added taxa can break up long branches was exemplified by a study of "incomplete" fossil taxa, the issue of taxon completeness (i.e., proportion of missing data) has been largely ignored in most subsequent discussions of taxon sampling an...
