Title: A Model of AFLP Evolution and Its Use in Bayesian Estimation of Phylogenetic Relationships

Keywords: phylogeny ; MCMC ; Bayesian statistics ; evolution
Abstract:

Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers are a type of genetic information that are especially useful to plant biologists. We describe a Bayesian approach to modeling AFLP marker evolution that is informed by the underlying science. We describe an MCMC approach to the estimation of phylogeny from AFLP marker data and assessment of uncertainty. We apply the method to several datasets.
