description |
Model represents the footprint of evolutionary phenomenon that generated the data (such as mutation and selection) and provides framework through which the phylogenetic construction method estimates parameters to find the preferred tree. The specific model selected for a data set depends on features of the data such as level of variation and frequency. Benefits: •Overcome most of the phylogenetic scenarios. •Provide simplifications, summarizing many evolutionary forces and incorporation of these models leads to improvement in phylogenetic analysis. Example: Maximum likelihood, neighbor joining and Bayesian methods use models and benefit from them but maximum parsimony does not use models. |
