The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach
TL;DR: A computationally feasible method for finding such maximum likelihood estimates is developed, and a computer program is available that allows the testing of hypotheses about the constancy of evolutionary rates by likelihood ratio tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Defining the Course of Evolution: Minimum Change for a Specific Tree Topology
TL;DR: A method is presented that is asserted to provide all hypothetical ancestral character states that are consistent with describing the descent of the present-day character states in a minimum number of changes of state using a predetermined phylogenetic relationship among the taxa represented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The protein kinase family: conserved features and deduced phylogeny of the catalytic domains.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic mapping of the conserved protein kinase catalytic domains can serve as a useful first step in the functional characterization of these newly identified family members.

A method for deducing branching sequences in phylogeny
Joseph H. Camin,Robert R. Sokal +1 more
TL;DR: With the advent of relatively objective classifications, such as the phenetic classifications produced by the operational techniques of numerical taxonomy, it was inevitable that biologists would wonder what phylogenetic conclusions could be drawn from them and with what reliability.

A method for cluster analysis
TL;DR: A method for investigating the relation of points in multidimensional space using an analysis of variance technique, and the pTocess repeated sequentially so that a tree diagram is formed.
