An evaluation of alternative methods for constructing phylogenies from whole genome sequence data: a case study with Salmonella

An evaluation of alternative methods for constructing phylogenies from whole genome sequence data: a case study with Salmonella

Comparative genomics based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly being applied to investigate questions within evolutionary and molecular biology, as well as questions concerning public health (e.g., pathogen outbreaks). Given the impact that conclusions derived from such analyses may hav...
