Looking to open access (preferably w/ CC licenses) review papers covering introduction to phylogenetic trees and methods
I am teaching a class this spring and as part of the class am having one lecture on "Phylogenetic trees and methods." I would like to link to (and be able to mix and match material from) some review paper on this topic. So I am searching for something that is Open Access and preferably with a broad Creative Commons license. Anyone know of anything good?

Just got this press release by email. I am sick of receiving dozens of unsolicited press releases, especially those in topics not related ...
Hmm, blogger ate my comment, so a bit more brief this time.
ReplyDelete1) This 2008 paper by Stéphane Aris-Brosou and Xuhua Xia reviews the statistical methods used in the entire phylogenetics life-cycle
2) This paper by Sean Carroll reviews the efforts and reasons for failure in hard-to-resolve phylogenies
3) This paper by Hanno Sandvik discusses the problems that students can have when thinking about trees, and include some practice questions.

Oh, my comment lives! Sorry about the double-posting.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the licensing issues, but I like this one: http://research.cs.queensu.ca/home/cisc875/faint.pdf
ReplyDelete"Phylogeny for the Faint of Heart." Great title. It is 2003, so might be out of date.
A technicla paper for the basic and optimized Sankoff's parsimony under cost matrices:
