MacClade: Analysis of phylogeny and character evolution
TL;DR: MacClade is a computer program that provides theory and tools for the graphic and interactive analysis of molecular and morphological data, phylogeny, and character evolution, yet its ease of use allows beginning students to grasp phylogenetic principles in an interactive environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene Trees in Species Trees
TL;DR: When gene copies are sampled from various species, the gene tree relating these copies might disagree with the species phylogeny, and discord can arise from horizontal transfer, lineage sorting, and gene duplication and ex- tinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of levels of gene flow from DNA sequence data.
TL;DR: It is found that in general when there is no recombination, the cladistic method performed better than FST while the reverse was true for rates of recombination similar to those found in eukaryotic nuclear genes, although FST performed better for all recombination rates for very low levels of migration.
Book
Macclade: Analysis of Phylogeny and Character Evolution/Version 3
TL;DR: Part I Introducing MacClade: introduction - a tutorial overview of MacClades and an introduction to phylogeny reconstructing character evolution using parsimony stratigraphic parsimony.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outgroup analysis and parsimony
TL;DR: Methods that use outgroups in the reconstruction of phylogeny are described and evaluated by the criterion of parsimony, and algorithms and rules are presented that find the most parsimonious estimates of ancestral states for binary and multistate characters when outgroup relationships are well resolved.
