Document Summary

Parsimony: using the fewest mutational events to explain the data. Ex. mtdna is highly conserved and few mutations happen, the few number of mutations means that they are more closely related in time. Microsatellites: locations of small repeats, looking at these over a long period of time and comparing the data to tract changes. Dna hybridization: denaturing dna strands and combining it with other organisms to see how much of it fits together, ex. Hybridization experiments suggest a degree of evolutionary relationships among species. Hox genes: organized in different species in different way due to different anatomy, ex.
