The effect of natural selection on the performance of maximum parsimony.

BMC evolutionary biology - 25 Jun 2007

Hang Dehua, Torng Eric, Ofria Charles, Schmidt Thomas M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Maximum parsimony is one of the most commonly used and extensively studied phylogeny reconstruction methods. While current evaluation methodologies such as computer simulations provide insight into how well maximum parsimony reconstructs phylogenies, they tell us little about how well maximum parsimony performs on taxa drawn from populations of organisms that evolved subject to natural selection in...
