About: Patrocladogram

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A patrocladogram is a cladistic branching pattern that has been precisely modified by use of (i.e., divergences between lineages); a type of phylogram. The patristic distance is defined as, "the number of apomorphic step changes separating two taxa on a cladogram," and is used exclusively to determine the amount of divergence of a characteristic from a common ancestor. This means that cladistic and patristic distances are combined to construct a new tree using various phenetic algorithms. The purpose of the patrocladogram in biological classification is to form a hypothesis about which evolutionary processes are actually involved before making a taxonomic decision. Patrocladograms are based on biostatistics that include but are not limited to: parsimony, distance matrix, likelihood method

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • A patrocladogram is a cladistic branching pattern that has been precisely modified by use of (i.e., divergences between lineages); a type of phylogram. The patristic distance is defined as, "the number of apomorphic step changes separating two taxa on a cladogram," and is used exclusively to determine the amount of divergence of a characteristic from a common ancestor. This means that cladistic and patristic distances are combined to construct a new tree using various phenetic algorithms. The purpose of the patrocladogram in biological classification is to form a hypothesis about which evolutionary processes are actually involved before making a taxonomic decision. Patrocladograms are based on biostatistics that include but are not limited to: parsimony, distance matrix, likelihood methods, and Bayesian probability. Some examples of genomically related data that can be used as inputs for these methods are: molecular sequences, whole genome sequences, gene frequencies, restriction sites, distance matrices, unique characters, mutations such as SNPs, and mitochondrial genome data.
