Profile Parsimony (PP): an analysis under Implied Weights (IW)
Faith and Trueman [Syst. Biol. (2001) 331] recently proposed ‘‘Profile Parsimony’’ (PP) as a new form of phylogenetic analysis, but it is equivalent to the Implied Weights (IW) method when certain functions are used. The PP method cannot accommodate missing ⁄ inapplicable cells and ⁄or multistate characters. Finally we demonstrate that, as defined, PP scores are not random, and 3 there is no ne...
متن کاملSearching for phylogenetic trees under the frequency parsimony criterion: an approximation using generalized parsimony.
Swofford and Berlocher (1987) described a method for inferring trees from polymorphic character data that searches for trees that minimize the total amount of allelic frequency change as measured by the Manhattan metric. We provided three primary arguments for choosing our method over other parsimony methods proposed for polymorphic data: (1) it accommodates polymorphism without resorting to co...
متن کاملGASTS: Parsimony Scoring under Rearrangements
The accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequences of these rearrangements. However, rearrangements lead to NP-hard problems, so that current approaches, such as the MGR tool, are limited to small...
متن کاملPhylogeny reconciliation under gene tree parsimony
The growing genomic and phylogenetic data sets represent a unique opportunity to analytically and computationally study the relationship among diversifying species. Unfortunately, such data often result in contradictory gene phylogenies due to common yet unobserved evolutionary events, e.g., gene duplication or deep coalescence. Gene tree parsimony (GTP) methods address such issue by reconcilin...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Phylogeny Reconstruction Under Maximum Parsimony
The similarity of the molecular matter of the organisms on Earth suggest that they all share a common ancestor. Thus any set of species is related, and this relationship is called a phylogeny. The links (or evolutionary relationships) among a set of organisms (or taxa) form a phylogenetic tree, where modern organisms are placed at the leaves and ancestral organisms occupy internal nodes, with t...
