Abstract excerpt
Uncovering the genealogy of closely related species remains a major challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. It is unlikely that the phylogeny of a single gene will represent the phylogeny of a species as a whole [1], but DNA sequence data across a large number of loci can be combined in order to obtain a consensus tree [2]. Long sequences are needed, however, to minimize the effect of (infrequent) base...
