The effect of branch lengths on phylogeny: an empirical study using highly conserved orthologs from mammalian genomes.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Oct 2007

Hughes Austin L, Friedman Robert

Abstract excerpt

Phylogenetic analyses were applied to 269 families of putative orthologs represented by a single member in the genomes of human, mouse, dog, and chicken. Five methods were used: maximum parsimony (NP), neighbor-joining (NJ) with Poisson and Gamma distances; and maximum likelihood (ML) with JTT and JTT+gamma models. When applied to the concatenated sequence of all families, all methods strongly supported a tree in...
