Table 4 A summary of the properties of the different characters of the suggested phylogenies

From: Reconstruction of real and simulated phylogenies based on quartet plurality inference

 

Classification by phylum

Classification by order

QP2 tree

Tree is perfect

Tree is not perfect. Three leaves misplaced

16s tree

Tree is perfect

Tree is not perfect. Two leaves misplaced

Synteny tree

Tree is not perfect. One leaf misplaced

Tree is not perfect. Three leaves misplaced

  1. A tree can either be perfect (i.e., induce a perfect separation with respect to the relevant character) or not, in which case the number of taxa needed to be replaced in order to make the tree perfect is indicated. We see that no single tree is perfect with respect to order, but the QP2 tree and the 16s tree are perfect with respect to phylum
