Statistical methods for evolutionary trees.
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1963 and 1964, L. L. Cavalli-Sforza and A. W. F. Edwards introduced novel methods for computing evolutionary trees from genetical data, initially for human populations from blood-group gene frequencies. The most important development was their introduction of statistical methods of estimation applied to stochastic models of evolution.

Introduction: FAD is the cofactor of FAD-FR protein family. Sulfite reductase flavoprotein alpha-component is one of the main enzymes of this family. Based on applications of this enzyme in biotechnology and industry, it was chosen as the subject of evolutionary studies in 19 specific species. Method: Gene and protein sequences of sulfite reductase flavoprotein alpha-component, 5S rRNA sequence...

متن کاملThe Short Quartet Method
Reconstructing phylogenetic (evolutionary) trees is a major research problem in biology, but unfortunately the current methods are either inconsistent somewhere in the parameter space (and hence do not reconstruct the tree even given unboundedly long sequences), have poor statistical power (and hence require extremely long sequences on large or highly divergent trees), or have computational req...

متن کاملConstructing Big Trees from Short Sequences
The construction of evolutionary trees is a fundamental problem in biology, and yet methods for reconstructing evolutionary trees are not reliable when it comes to inferring accurate topologies of large divergent evolutionary trees from realistic length sequences. We address this problem and present a new polynomial time algorithm for reconstructing evolutionary trees called the Short Quartets ...
