The Phylogentic Handbook is a broad
introduction to the theory and practice of phylogenetic analysis.
Download the
Table of Contents for Reading.
Chapter 1 gives a brief overview of molecular
evolution. Chapter 2 provide a strong background in basic topics including
the use of sequence databases (Chapter 2), alignment algorithms (Chapter
3), estimation of genetic distances (Chapter 4), tree-building algorithms
based on distance as well as character-based methods (Chapter 5-7), and
phylogenetic analysis of protein sequences (Chapter 8). Additional chapters
briefly survey special topics in evolution, e.g. modeling rate heterogeneity
over site (Chapter 9), testing evolutionary models,
Chapter 10 analyzing coding regions for positive
selection/neutral evolution (Chapter 11), modeling evolution with networks
(Chapter 12), data exploration (Chapter 13), studying recombination (Chapter
14), and estimating population genetics parameters with genealogy-based
methods (Chapter 15). Chapter 2-15 begin with a theoretical section followed
by a practical part explaining, in a step-by-step fashion, the most widely-used
phylogeny software including CLUSTAL, PHYLIP, PAUP*, DAMBE, DAMBE, MEGA,
TREE-PUZZLE, TREECON, SplitsTree, TreeView, SimPlot, and BOOTSCANNING.
Download the book's datasets and follow the exercises
described in the practical part of each chapter.
