Rooted vs unrooted trees: Rooting an unrooted tree root: common ancestor uman Mouse hicken almon arp Zebrafish rout almon Unrooted trees give no information about the order of speciation events Molecular clock If the mutation rate is constant in all lineages (molecular clock hypothesis), the root can be inferred mathematically Outgroup dd a taxon whose distance from all taxa in the data set is greater than distances within the data set (but not too distant). e.g., given a set of dog, fox and wolf data, use a bear as an outgroup. ata for phylogeny reconstruction Questions trees can address: Morphology ehavior iochemistry Molecular and sequence data Which taxa are most closely related? What is the ancestral state? Where is rapid change occuring When did lineages diverge? haracter data: shared characteristics istance data: difference between species 1
