Accuracy of phylogeny reconstruction methods combining overlapping gene data sets.

Accuracy of phylogeny reconstruction methods combining overlapping gene data sets.

Abstract

For some methods, using the reconstructed gene tree as an estimation of the species tree is superior to the combination of incomplete information. Superalignment usually performs best since it is less susceptible to stochastic error. Supertree methods can outperform superalignment in the presence of gene-tree conflict.
