WEBINAR: Conflict in multi-gene datasets: why it happens and what to do about it - deep coalescence, paralogy and reticulation
Date: 20 May 2021 @ 12:00 - 13:00
Timezone: Canberra
Multi-gene datasets used in phylogenetic analyses, such as those produced by the sequence capture or target enrichment used in the Genomics for Australian Plants: Australian Angiosperm Tree of Life project, often show discordance between individual gene trees and between gene and species trees. This webinar will explore three different forms of discordance: deep coalescence, paralogy, and reticulation. In each case, it will consider underlying biological processes, how discordance presents in the data, and what bioinformatic or phylogenetic approaches and tools are available to address these challenges. It will cover Yang and Smith paralogy resolution and general information on options for phylogenetic analysis.
Presenter: Dr Alexander Schmidt-Lebuhn, Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research, CSIRO
