Issues in DNA sequence alignment and its affect on topology the evolution of Decapodiformes (Mollusca Cephalopoda)
Meeting Abstract 1.1 Jan. 4 Issues in DNA sequence alignment and its affect on topology: the evolution of Decapodiformes (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) LINDGREN, AR*; DALY, M; The Ohio State University; The Ohio State University lindgren.11@osu.edu In molecular phylogenetics, mode of analysis is typically the primary reason for obtaining different topologies. However, sequence alignment is likely to be as […]
