After a bit of a pause to avoid destructive interference with the Boston Evolutionary Genomics Supergroup, the Harvard Phylogenetics JC is back. Join us this Friday March 28th at 12:15 pm in the MCZ Ornithology Library on the 5th floor MCZ for a discussion on the following paper:
Leonidas Salichos, Alexandros Stamatakis, and Antonis Rokas. Novel Information Theory-Based Measures for Quantifying Incongruence among Phylogenetic Trees Mol Biol Evol first published online February 7, 2014 doi:10.1093/molbev/msu061
http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/02/21/molbev.msu061.full
Which is hot off the presses. It is a more mathematically detailed look into the recently developed internode certainty metrics and their practical utility. This will make a nice follow up to our inaugural discussion, those of you that remember it.
Consider it optional, but the following Syst. Biol. P.O.V. article, which is a response to the original Salichos and Rokas 2013 paper, might also make an interesting contrast:
