Species tree estimation using Neighbor Joining.
Recent theoretical work has demonstrated that Neighbor Joining applied to concatenated DNA sequences is a statistically consistent method of species tree reconstruction. This brief note compares the accuracy of this approach to other popular statistically consistent species tree reconstruction algorithms including ASTRAL-II Neighbor Joining using average gene-tree internode distances (NJst) and...
متن کاملGeneralized neighbor-joining: more reliable phylogenetic tree reconstruction.
We have developed a phylogenetic tree reconstruction method that detects and reports multiple topologically distant low-cost solutions. Our method is a generalization of the neighbor-joining method of Saitou and Nei and affords a more thorough sampling of the solution space by keeping track of multiple partial solutions during its execution. The scope of the solution space sampling is controlle...
متن کاملNeighbor-joining revealed.
It is nearly 20 years since the landmark paper (Saitou and Nei 1987) in Molecular Biology and Evolution introducing Neighbor-Joining (NJ). The method has become the most widely used method for building phylogenetic trees from distances, and the original paper has been cited about 13,000 times (Science Citation Index). Yet the question "what does the NJ method seek to do?" has until recently pro...

متن کاملFast Neighbor Joining
Reconstructing the evolutionary history of a set of species is a fundamental problem in biology and methods for solving this problem are gaged based on two characteristics: accuracy and efficiency. Neighbor Joining (NJ) is a so-called distance-based method that, thanks to its good accuracy and speed, has been embraced by the phylogeny community. It takes the distances between n taxa and produce...
