Chromosomal character optimization

摘要

A method is presented to optimize chromosomal data on a cladogram. This procedure simultaneously considers variation at the nucleotide and locus levels including nucleotide substitution, insertion and deletion, locus insertions and deletion, and gene rearrangement. Locus labeling is not a requirement of the procedure and such annotation will result from the dynamic homology analysis of the chromosome data. An example of complete arthropod mtDNA sequences is presented. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
