Help with max likelihood in phylogenies

07 March 2013 - 04:32 AM

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could explain the concept of using max. likelihood to construct phylogenies. Mostly, why is it such a strong technique and what does it actually do? I'm writing a short report on a great apes phylogeny and I've done a parsimony analysis and a max likelihood, trees are rooted with baboon.

Thanks for any help.

Help explaining very long exons in a dataset.

05 December 2012 - 01:55 PM

I'm looking at a dataset which contains all exon information for chromosomes 3 and 4 (human). Some exons appear to be very long. We've been asked to explain why this is so and if these are really exons. Is there a biological reason why there would be exons that are much longer than we would expect or is this a product of the sequencing technology?

Thanks for any help.
