You don't need them. <br /><br />You only use such statistical approximations to deal with huge amount of distributed data, that is not manageable by any other means. That happens with autosomal or whole genome data only, not with the limited ammount of haploid SNPs that you can deal with "manually". <br /><br />The haploid phylogenetic trees are not statistical but factual, as far as research can tell. You claim to know of genetics but you don't know a shit. There's nothing statistical but samples in haploid phylogenetics.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-68822751585872192162009-12-11T17:47:50.676+01:002009-12-11T17:47:50.676+01:00Why would that be different?

Long branch attraction is a bias that spans any genetic system (A, G, T, C are the only 4 options everywhere), plus, to a varying degree, affects all the computerized phylogenetic methods. from Max Like to Bayesian.German Dziebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703679732205862495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-57340876322133652102009-12-11T05:11:44.530+01:002009-12-11T05:11:44.530+01:00This is different, German.

Haploid DNA has its own rules, based not in overall affinity but specific and hierarchically organized SNPs.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-24055559849918082202009-12-11T05:02:17.019+01:002009-12-11T05:02:17.019+01:00Long-branch attraction is probably what's wron...Long-branch attraction is probably what's wrong with both mtDNA and Y-DNA trees: African-specific lineages (Y-A, Y-B, mt-L1, mt-L2, etc.) evolved at a faster rate and created homoplasies that look like ancient synapomorphies.German Dziebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703679732205862495noreply@blogger.com
