Rates of DNA Sequence Evolution Differ Between Taxonomic Groups
The mutation rates of DNA sequences during evolution can be estimated from interspecies DNA sequence differences by assaying changes that have little or no effect on the phenoty...
Body size, metabolic rate, generation time, and the molecular clock.
There is increasing evidence for variation in rates of nucleotide substitution among divergent taxonomic groups. Here, we summarize published rate data and show a strong relatio...
Estimating divergence dates from molecular sequences
The ability to date the time of divergence between lineages using molecular data provides the opportunity to answer many important questions in evolutionary biology. However, mo...
Effects of Models of Rate Evolution on Estimation of Divergence Dates with Special Reference to the Metazoan 18S Ribosomal RNA Phylogeny
The molecular clock, i.e., constancy of the rate of evolution over time, is commonly assumed in estimating divergence dates. However, this assumption is often violated and has d...
Mapping Mutations on Phylogenies
Mapping of mutations on a phylogeny has been a commonly used analytical tool in phylogenetics and molecular evolution. However, the common approaches for mapping mutations based...
