TLDR
A graphical method, likelihood-mapping, is introduced, to visualize the phylogenetic content of a set of aligned sequences, based on an analysis of the maximum likelihoods for the three fully resolved tree topologies that can be computed for four sequences.Abstract:
We introduce a graphical method, likelihood-mapping, to visualize the phylogenetic content of a set of aligned sequences. The method is based on an analysis of the maximum likelihoods for the three fully resolved tree topologies that can be computed for four sequences. The three likelihoods are represented as one point inside an equilateral triangle. The triangle is partitioned in different regions. One region represents star-like evolution, three regions represent a well-resolved phylogeny, and three regions reflect the situation where it is difficult to distinguish between two of the three trees. The location of the likelihoods in the triangle defines the mode of sequence evolution. If n sequences are analyzed, then the likelihoods for each subset of four sequences are mapped onto the triangle. The resulting distribution of points shows whether the data are suitable for a phylogenetic reconstruction or not.read more

TL;DR: The evolution of virulence is linked to bacterial sex because rates of evolution have accelerated in pathogenic lineages, culminating in highly virulent organisms whose genomic contents are altered frequently by increased rates of homologous recombination.

Estimation of evolutionary distances between nucleotide sequences
TL;DR: A formal mathematical analysis of the substitution process in nucleotide sequence evolution was done in terms of the Markov process by using matrix algebra theory, and it was shown that the multiparameter methods of Lanave et al.'s (J. Mol. Evol. 2:191–210, 1987) and Lanave and Hartigan's (Stat. Sci. Sci.) methods are preferable to others for the purpose of phylogenetic analysis when the sequences are long.

TL;DR: Using nuclear ribosomal gene sequences for constructing a molecular phylogeny, this work provides strong evidence that the crustaceans and not the myriapods should be considered to be the sister group of the insects.
