• “Furthermore, a priori assumptions in phylogenetic analyses, such as long-branch attraction can bias phylogenetic tree analysis.”

  A critique on the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of mitochondria

• “The fantastically-named Congo forest mouse Deomys ferrugineus (sometimes called the Link mouse) is another similar long-footed form of uncertain phylogenetic position.”

  The Guardian: Archaeopteryx regains its perch on the bird family tree

• “Gibbs said that might have been a coincidence, but the unusual placement of the virus on what what virologists call phylogenetic trees-a sort of schematic family history of the virus -- also peeked his interest.”

  Virologist to make his case for lab origin of swine flu

• “But recently a small cadre of evolutionary biologists has argued for reforming the accepted nomenclature to more closely reflect evolution using an approach called phylogenetic taxonomy.”

  Wired: What's in a Name? The Future of Life

• “Evolutionary biologists have long been able to build family trees of related species, called phylogenetic trees.”

• “Using a method of comparing genetic characteristics, called phylogenetic analysis, the researchers studied a group of men who had sexually transmitted their HIV virus to other men.”

  Analysis

• “Using a method of comparing genetic characteristics, called phylogenetic analysis, the researchers studied a group of men who had sexually transmitted their HIV viruses; in this way the team was able to determine the source of rapidly mutating HIV viruses by analyzing the viral sequences extracted from the blood and semen of HIV transmitting partners.”

  THE MEDICAL NEWS

• “The result is called a phylogenetic tree that documents the shared mutations.”
