Prokaryotic evolution and the tree of life are two different things

Eric Bapteste, Maureen A O'Malley, Robert G Beiko, Marc Ereshefsky, J Peter Gogarten, Laura Franklin-Hall, François-Joseph Lapointe, John Dupré, Tal Dagan, Yan Boucher, William Martin Biology Direct 2009, 4:34 (29 September 2009)

This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150...

From philosophical, scientific and epistemological perspectives, we argue that the tree of life can not successfully account for prokaryotic evolution, and we briefly set out alternative models to study their evolution.

Phylogenetic identification of lateral genetic transfer events

Robert G Beiko, Nicholas Hamilton BMC Evolutionary Biology 2006, 6:15 (11 February 2006)

EEEP, a new algorithm capable of analyzing large phylogenomic data sets, identifies putative lateral genetic transfer events through the economical comparison of discordant phylogenetic trees by using evolutionarily reasonable constraints.
