Evaluating the relationship between evolutionary divergence and phylogenetic accuracy in AFLP data sets.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

Using in silico amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprints, we explore the relationship between sequence similarity and phylogeny accuracy to test when, in terms of genetic divergence, the quality of AFLP data becomes too low to be informative for a reliable phylogenetic reconstruction. We generated DNA sequences with known phylogenies using balanced and unbalanced trees with recent, uniform and...
