Content

This course provides a detailed introduction into phylogenetic analysis. Topics
include distance-based methods, parsimony methods, likelihood methods and
Bayesian inference. We also look at the concept of compatibility and some of
its generalizations, the latter leading to phylogenetic networks.
Objectives

This module builds directly on the module Fundamentals of Bioinformatics and expands and complements it: A detailed and up-to-date overview of problems and methods in bioinformatics related to phylogeny is given. The students know the basics of this subject area. They can recognise and use phylogenetic methods in a meaningful way.
