Contribution of homoplasy and of ancestral polymorphism to the evolution of genes in anthropoid primates.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular phylogenies of lineages that split from one another in short succession are often difficult to resolve because different loci and different sites within the same locus yield incongruent relationships. The incongruity is commonly attributed to two causes: differential assortment of ancestral polymorphisms and homoplasy. To assess the relative contribution of these two causes, sequences of 57 segments...
