  1. ncbi Phylogenomics with incomplete taxon coverage: the limits to inference
    Michael J Sanderson
    Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
    BMC Evol Biol 10:155. 2010
    ..We approach this problem using a explicitly phylogenomic criterion of success, decisiveness, which refers to whether the pattern of taxon coverage allows for uniquely defining a single tree for all taxa...
  2. ncbi Inferring angiosperm phylogeny from EST data with widespread gene duplication
    Michael J Sanderson
    Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
    BMC Evol Biol 7:S3. 2007
    ..One rarely used method of inference, gene tree parsimony, can infer species trees from gene families undergoing duplication and loss, but its performance has not been evaluated at a phylogenomic scale for EST data in plants...

    Amy C Driskell
    Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
    Science 306:1172-4. 2004
    ..However, an analysis of two "supermatrices" suggests that even data sets with as much as 92% missing data can provide insights into broad sections of the tree of life...
  5. ncbi Terraces in phylogenetic tree space
    Michael J Sanderson
    Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
    Science 333:448-50. 2011
    ..Algorithms to find optimal trees or estimate Bayesian posterior tree distributions may need to navigate strategically in the neighborhood of large terraces in tree space...

    Cecile Ane
    Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, USA
    Mol Biol Evol 22:914-24. 2005
    ..The frequency of covarion evolution within the plastid genome suggests that covarion processes of evolution were important in generating the observed patterns of sequence variation among plastid genomes...
