Trees (data structures)

Phylogenetic tree

A phylogenetic tree (also phylogeny or evolutionary tree ) is a branching diagram or a tree showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics. All life on Earth is part of a single phylogenetic tree, indicating common ancestry. In a rooted phylogenetic tree, each node with descendants represents the inferred most recent common ancestor of those descendants, and the edge lengths in some trees may be interpreted as time estimates. Each node is called a taxonomic unit. Internal nodes are generally called hypothetical taxonomic units, as they cannot be directly observed. Trees are useful in fields of biology such as bioinformatics, systematics, and phylogenetics. Unrooted trees illustrate only the relatedness of the leaf nodes and do not require the ancestral root to be known or inferred. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to phylogenetics

This video introduces the use of a phylogenetic tree to indicate relationships between taxa. These relationships arise from shared ancestries and explain the nested hierarchy organization of biological life as described by Linnaeus. The terms taxon, taxa, taxonomy, phylogeny are introduced

Mike Steel: Deciphering a species phylogeny from conflicting gene trees

Abstract: A phylogenetic tree that has been reconstructed from a given gene can describe a different evolutionary history from its underlying species tree. The reasons for this include: error in inferring the gene tree, incomplete lineage sorting, lateral gene transfer, and the absence of

Using phylogenetic trees to understand biology

This video introduces the terms synapomorphy, symplesiomorphy, and homoplasy which are critical for understanding which traits provide useful information about relationships and which types of data muddies the pattern. This video also introduces the terms monophyletic, paraphyletic, and po
