Bias in phylogenetic tree reconciliation methods: implications for vertebrate genome evolution.

The correlation on just tip branches remains strong and highly significant (mammals: r = 0.99, P = 0.0001; Drosophila : r = 0.97, P = 0.001).

The number of gene losses also appears to be badly estimated by tree reconciliation methods: correlation with likelihood estimates is either non-significant (mammals: r = 0.52, P = 0.18) or mildly significant ( Drosophila : r = 0.63, P = 0.01).

As shown in Table 1 , there is no significant correlation between the number of gains and bootstrap cut-off for doublet branches in Drosophila ( r = -0.12, P = 0.83), and only a marginally significant relationship in mammals, but in the opposite direction from the relationships found earlier ( r = -0.82, P = 0.045).
