The Genealogical World of Phylogenetic Networks: Datasets

http://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/p/datasets.html

Biology, anthropology, computational science, and networks in phylogenetic analysis. This is a compilation of links to empirical datasets that might prove useful for validating mathematical algorithms associated with those phylogenetic networks intended to represent evolutionary history. In each case an aligned datafile is provided, along with annotation notes. For each dataset, the following information is provided:. A unique name for the dataset. The publication used as the source for the data. Cunning...

The Genealogical World of Phylogenetic Networks: Charles Darwin's unpublished tree sketches

http://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2012/06/charles-darwins-unpublished-tree.html

Biology, anthropology, computational science, and networks in phylogenetic analysis. Saturday, June 16, 2012. Charles Darwin's unpublished tree sketches. It therefore perhaps comes as something of a surprise that Darwin never published an empirical phylogenetic tree. His only published diagram (in The Origin of Species. Nevertheless, trees appear as sketches in Darwin's notebooks, note portfolios and book drafts, both before and after The Origin. Dated 1837-1838). They are not actually trees, but ins...

The Genealogical World of Phylogenetic Networks: The decline of marriages in the USA

http://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-decline-of-marriages-in-usa.html

Biology, anthropology, computational science, and networks in phylogenetic analysis. Monday, August 10, 2015. The decline of marriages in the USA. The United States government likes to keep an eye on its populace, as we all know, and they keep track of numbers, as well as people. Sometimes, they release these numbers, so that we can have a look at them. The National Center for Health Statistics. One such dataset that might be of interest is that on Marriages and Divorces. The states are neatly arranged i...
