Abstract excerpt
The relative efficiencies of the maximum-parsimony (MP), UPGMA, and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods in obtaining the correct tree (topology) for restriction-site and restriction-fragment data were studied by computer simulation. In this simulation, six DNA sequences of 16,000 nucleotides were assumed to evolve following a given model tree. The recognition sequences of 20 different six-base restriction enzymes were...
