Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of estimated phylogenetic trees from molecular data. I. Distantly related species.
TL;DR: A comparison of the accuracies and efficiencies of four different methods for constructing phylogenetic trees from molecular data was examined by using computer simulation, and it is shown that the agreement between patristic and observed genetic distances is not a good indicator of the goodness of the tree obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Amount of DNA Polymorphism Maintained in a Finite Population When the Neutral Mutation Rate Varies Among Sites
TL;DR: If distribution parameter alpha is small, the effect of rate variation on these quantities are substantial, so that the estimates of theta based on the infinite site model are substantially underestimated, where theta = 4Nv, N is the effective population size and v is the mutation rate per site per generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intragenic recombination in the Adh locus of the wild plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that recombination played an important role in the evolutionary history of A. thaliana, especially through the generation of DNA polymorphism in the natural populations of this plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Method for Estimating Nucleotide Diversity From AFLP Data
TL;DR: A method for estimating the nucleotide diversity from AFLP data is developed by using the relationship between the number of nucleotide changes and the proportion of shared bands, which gives a reasonably accurate estimate even when GC-content deviates from 0.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mitochondrial genome of the brachiopod Laqueus rubellus.
TL;DR: Combined cooccurrence of such gene assortments indicates that the Laqueus mt genome is similar to the annelid Lumbricus, the mollusc Katharina, and the octocoral Sarcophyton mt genomes, each with statistical significance.
