Inferring biogeographic history from molecular phylogenies
The present study illustrates a method for analysing the biogeography of a group that is based on the group’s phylogeny but does not invoke founder dispersal or centre of origin. The case studies presented include groups from many different parts of the world, but most are from the south-west Pacific. The idea that basal groups are ancestral is not valid as a generalization. Neither the basal g...
متن کاملGENIE: estimating demographic history from molecular phylogenies
UNLABELLED GENIE implements a statistical framework for inferring the demographic history of a population from phylogenies that have been reconstructed from sampled DNA sequences. The methods are based on population genetic models known collectively as coalescent theory. AVAILABILITY GENIE is available from http://evolve.zoo.ox.ac.uk. All popular operating systems are supported.
متن کاملInferring Phylogenies from RAD Sequence Data
Reduced-representation genome sequencing represents a new source of data for systematics, and its potential utility in interspecific phylogeny reconstruction has not yet been explored. One approach that seems especially promising is the use of inexpensive short-read technologies (e.g., Illumina, SOLiD) to sequence restriction-site associated DNA (RAD)--the regions of the genome that flank the r...
متن کاملRunning head: INFERRING PHYLOGENIES FROM CONTINUOUS CHARACTERS
8 The recent surge in enthusiasm for simultaneously inferring relationships from extinct and 9 extant species has reinvigorated interest in statistical approaches for modelling morphological 10 evolution. Current statistical methods use the Mk model to describe substitutions between 11 discrete character states. Although representing a significant step forward, the Mk model presents 12 challeng...
متن کاملInferring phylogenies from DNA sequences of unequal base compositions.
A new method for computing evolutionary distances between DNA sequences is proposed. Contrasting with classical methods, the underlying model does not assume that sequence base compositions (A, C, G, and T contents) are at equilibrium, thus allowing unequal base compositions among compared sequences. This makes the method more efficient than the usual ones in recovering phylogenetic trees from ...
