Molecular Markers in Phylogenetic Studies-A Review

Open access
Amit Roy, Samit Ray·2014·Journal of Phylogenetics & Evolutionary Biology

Abstract

Uses of molecular markers in the phylogenetic studies of various organisms have become increasingly important in recent times.This review gives an overview of different molecular markers employed by researchers for the purpose of phylogenetic studies.Availability of fast DNA sequencing techniques along with the development of robust statistical analysis methods, provided a new momentum to this field.In this context, utility of different nuclear encoded genes (like 16S rRNA, 5S rRNA, 28S rRNA) mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase, mitochondrial 12S, cytochrome b, control region) and few chloroplast encoded genes (like rbcL, matK, rpl16) are discussed.Criteria for choosing suitable molecular markers and steps leading to the construction of phylogenetic trees have been discussed.Although widely practised even now, traditional morphology based systems of classification of organisms have some limitations.On the other hand it appears that the use of molecular markers, though relatively recent in popularity and are not free entirely of flaws, can complement the traditional morphology based method for phylogenetic studies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
