  2. 6. Molecular Phylogenetics of Mammals

    Author : Morgan Kullberg; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; EST; divergence times; phylogenomics; phylogenetic reconstruction; Mammals; Eutheria; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the phylogenetic relationships of the Mammalia have been studied at various levels. Different sources of genetic information have been evaluated and used as phylogenetic markers. These include the well-known mitochondrial genome, cDNA from housekeeping genes and expressed sequence tags from nuclear genes. READ MORE

  4. 7. Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference : Estimating Diversification Rates from Reconstructed Phylogenies

    Author : Sebastian Höhna; Tom Britton; Fredrik Ronquist; Ziheng Yang; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phylogenetics; Bayesian inference; Graphical Models; Birth-Death Process; Diversification; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary relationship between species. Inference of phylogeny relies heavily on statistical models that have been extended and refined tremendously over the past years into very complex hierarchical models. READ MORE

  5. 8. Computational Problems in Modeling Evolution and Inferring Gene Families

    Author : Mehmood Alam Khan; Lars Arvestad; Jens Lagergren; Christophe Dessimoz; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolution; Phylogenetics; Lateral Gene Transfer; Gene Families; Clustering; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Over the last few decades, phylogenetics has emerged as a very promising field, facilitating a comparative framework to explain the genetic relationships among all the living organisms on earth. These genetic relationships are typically represented by a bifurcating phylogenetic tree — the tree of life. READ MORE

  7. 10. Resolving deep nodes of eukaryote phylogeny

    Author : Caesar Al Jewari; Sandra L Baldauf; Fabien Burki; Antonis Rokas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eukaryote Tree of Life; Excavata; phylogenetics; phylogenomics; Mitochondria; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Abstract : My thesis aims to solve deep nodes in the eukaryote tree of life (eToL), by developing new data sets and new approaches to analysing them. In paper I, I described a dataset of 76 universal eukaryotic proteins of bacterial descent (euBacs), in order to test the relations among the three main divisions of mitochondriate eukaryotes (Amorphea, Diaphretickes and Discoba).
