UPGMA is a clock-requiring algorithm similar to neighbor-joining Algorithm: { Connect the two most similar sequences { Assign the distance between them evenly to the two branches { Rewrite the distance matrix replacing those two sequences with their average { Break ties at random { Continue until all sequences are connected This is too vulne...

Distance Methods. COMP 571. Luay Nakhleh, Rice University. Evolutionary models and distance corrections. Distance-based methods. Evolutionary Models and Distance Correction. Pairwise Distances. Calculating the distance between two sequences is important for at least two reasons: it’s the first step in distance-based phylogeny reconstruction.
Distance matrix methods. A major family of phylogenetic methods has been the distance matrix methods, intro duced by Cavalli-Sforza and Edwards (1967) and by Fitch and Margoliash (1967; see also Horne, 1967). They were influenced by the clustering algorithms of Sokal and Sneath (1963).
Distance-based phylogeny problem. Input: distance matrix of pairwise distances for N species. Goal: find a tree consistent with the distance matrix. This means that the sum of edge lengths connecting each pair of leaves ij corresponds to a distance Mij.
