Abstract

Using the most treelike distance matrices, as judged by their delta values, distance methods are able to recover all major plant lineages, and are more in accordance with Apicomplexa organelles being derived from "green" plastids than from plastids of the "red" type. GBDP-like methods can be used to reliably infer phylogenies from different kinds of genomic data. A framework is established to further develop and improve such methods. delta values are a topology-independent tool of general use for the development and assessment of distance methods for phylogenetic inference.
