Phylogeny
© 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. The branching pattern of ancestorâ"descendant relationships among âtaxaâ™ (e.g., species or their genes) is called a âphylogenyâ™ âPhylogeneticsâ™ is the process of attempting to estimate these historical relationships by examining information such as DNA, protein sequences, or morphological (shape) characters from extant taxa. This information is generally presented using a mathematical tree â" a structure used to describe the evolutionary history of the taxa at a high level. These trees come in several different varieties and can be inferred in several different ways. There is a great amount of effort being put into methods of estimating trees, as well as determining particular phylogenies for species of interest.
