Heterotachy and long-branch attraction in phylogenetics.

BMC evolutionary biology - 6 Oct 2005

Philippe Hervé, Zhou Yan, Brinkmann Henner, Rodrigue Nicolas, Delsuc Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Probabilistic methods have progressively supplanted the Maximum Parsimony (MP) method for inferring phylogenetic trees. One of the major reasons for this shift was that MP is much more sensitive to the Long Branch Attraction (LBA) artefact than is Maximum Likelihood (ML). However, recent work by Kolaczkowski and Thornton suggested, on the basis of simulations, that MP is less sensitive than ML to tree...
