Sentences with phrase «phylogenetic techniques»

Regarding phlyogeny v. phylogenetics, if what you meant to say was that phylogeny based on morphology has been shown to be false or is confounded by unreasonably high error rates in light of phylogenetic techniques, you're patently incorrect as the prior trees based on morphology have consistently, albeit not perfectly, matched the trees produced by genetic comparisons.

Treating each tale as a species that mutates over time, they've borrowed techniques from phylogenetics (the study of evolutionary relationships between living organisms) to map stories onto the tree of Indo - European languages.

In the new study, Professor Pisani and colleagues used cutting edge statistical techniques (Posterior Predictive Analyses) to test whether the evolutionary models routinely used in phylogenetics can adequately describe the genomic datasets used to study early animal evolution.
