A First Insight into the In Silico Evaluation of the Accuracy of AFLP Markers for Phylogenetic Reconstruction

摘要: Using simulated data, we tested whether the AFLP technique can consistently be used to estimate accurate evolutionary trees. We generated DNA sequences with known phylogenies that were simulate procedure. In silico fingerprints neighbor-joining AFLP-based The comparison of true tree trees obtained over a wide range conditions indicates AFLPs usually lead wrong phylogeny except when are closely related, typically below taxonomic rank species.
