Effect of genetic convergence on phylogenetic inference.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Mar 2012

Christin Pascal-Antoine, Besnard Guillaume, Edwards Erika J, Salamin Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

Phylogenetic reconstructions are a major component of many studies in evolutionary biology, but their accuracy can be reduced under certain conditions. Recent studies showed that the convergent evolution of some phenotypes resulted from recurrent amino acid substitutions in genes belonging to distant lineages. It has been suggested that these convergent substitutions could bias phylogenetic reconstruction toward...
