«A striking feature of
the phylogenetic tree based on S. aureus whole genome sequencing was the presence of multiple distinct clades,» said senior author Sharon Peacock from the University of Cambridge and Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
To figure out which species within that complex are causing problems for the turtle eggs, the researchers had to build a fungal
phylogenetic tree based on DNA.
Not exact matches
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.
The absence of a single gene
tree identical to the avian species
tree is consistent with studies in yeast (82), indicating that
phylogenetic studies
based on one or several genes, especially for rapid radiations, will probably be insufficient.

based measures for quantifying incongruence among
phylogenetic trees
«Jellyfish are perfect candidates for this kind of research while holding a key position at the
phylogenetic base of the metazoan
tree,» says first author Katharina Bading, former Master student at GEOMAR and now PhD student at NTNU, Norway.
Phylogenetic tree of Borrelia burgdorferi isolates
based on rDNA spacer sequence.
My PhD research was
based on algorithms in Computational
Phylogenetics, especially constructing species
