| Popis: | The assumption that maximum parsimony in a phylogenetic tree is achieved by the reduction of the number of overall homoplasies to a minimum is questioned and an alternative approach of using the most parsimonius distribution of taxa at each dichotomy suggested. This approach can be put into practice using Hennigian logic to determine relationships, DNA sequences data as the character set and standard statistical techniques to determine the significance to be placed on the resultipng phylogenetic tree. The logic and robustness of such an approach is described. A software package, SYNAPO, is availabe to assist such analyses. |
