    Bret Larget
    Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA
    Mol Phylogenet Evol 36:214-23. 2005
    ..We compare and contrast a Bayesian approach with a parsimony approach to infer phylogenies and ancestral arrangements from genome arrangement data by re-analyzing a number of previously published data sets...

    Ruiyan Luo
    University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA
