Farris, James. The logical basis of phylogenetic analysis.
na, 1983.
This book
gives an overview of the principles of phylogenetic analysis. It explains the
relative merits and drawbacks of each method of phylogenetic analysis, as well
as explaining assumptions needed in constructing an evolutionary tree. It will
help me gain an in-depth understanding of phylogenetic analysis, which is what
my project is based on, and will equip me to construct the tree most suitable
for my data.

In my
project, I’ll have to learn how to incorporate different types of data (ie.
nucelotide sequences vs. amino acid sequences) in order to construct the most
suitable evolutionary tree. In constructing evolutionary trees, one often has
access to more data than she can use, and this article will help me understand
the various approaches to combining/partitioning data, and which approach will
be the most suitable for my analysis.
