Beschreibung
Phylogenetic Trees Made Easy, Fifth Edition leads the reader, step by step, through identifying and acquiring the sequences to be included in a tree, aligning the sequences, estimating the tree by one of several methods, and drawing the tree for presentation to an intended audience.
Although aimed at molecular and cell biologists, who may not
be familiar with phylogenetic or evolutionary theory, it also serves students who have a theoretical understanding of phylogenetics but need guidance in transitioning to a practical application of the methodology.

Über den Autor
Barry G. Hall is Director of the Bellingham Research Institute, Adjunct Professor of Genomics and Bioinformatics at the Allegheny-Singer Research Institute's Center for Genomic Sciences, and Professor Emeritus of Biology, University of Rochester. A founding member of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, he has served as Editor-in-Chief of its journal, Molecular Biology and Evolution, and on the Editorial Boards of Genetics, the Journal of Molecular Evolution, and the Journal of Bacteriology. His current research interests include the molecular epidemiology of bacterial pathogens and application of genomic analysis to rapid prediction of antibiotic sensitivity in clinical applications. He has continued to publish 2-3 papers a year since his retirement in 2003.
Zusammenfassung
  • The release of this edition was prompted by the development of a new version of the phylogenetics software MEGA. MEGA7 has several capabilities that were not present in MEGA5.
  • Three important advanced topics have been added: Minimum Spanning Trees (Chapter 14), an alternative to phylogenetic trees when they are not suitable; Time Trees (Chapter 15), a new feature of MEGA7 that permits estimation of the divergence times of the interior nodes of trees; and an alignment-free method for Estimating Phylogenetic Trees from Whole Genome Sequences (Chapter 18).
  • The chapter on Bayesian Inference is now illustrated using the program BEAST, a WYSIWYG program with a familiar application environment.
