Molecular Clocks Prediction of time from molecular divergence.
Phylogenetic trees
Introduction to Molecular Phylogeny Starting point: a set of homologous, aligned DNA or protein sequences Result of the process: a tree describing evolutionary.
The Molecular Clock? By: T. Michael Dodson. Hypothesis For any given macromolecule (a protein or DNA sequence) the rate of evolution is approximately.
OUTLINE Phylogeny UPGMA Neighbor Joining Method Phylogeny Understanding life through time, over long periods of past time, the connections between all.
Introduction to evolution and phylogeny Nomenclature of trees Four stages of molecular phylogeny: [1] selecting sequences [2] multiple sequence alignment.
