While trying to understand a little bit more about all this phylogenetic subject, I was reading the Boore's paper entitled "The use of tenome-level characters for phylogenetic reconstruction". Although a little advanced to me by now, it was a ver good set of sheets to underline and make notes on important words and terms for further research. Now, trying to understand some of the basics in the subject, I found these interesting websites (please leave a comment if the link doesn't work anymore!):
How to draw phylogenetic trees?
http://icb.med.cornell.edu/education/courses/introtobio/t-phylogeny.xml - contains some basic explanations of the process of drawing the phylogenetic tree, explaining first what it is and some of the methods associated. TIP: The site contains links to a free program specially devoted for drawing the phylogenetic tree!!!
Wikipedia - "Phylogenetic tree"
www.wikipedia.org - While it remains somewhat controvertial if the open structure of reference bases such as wikipedia is really a trustable basis or not, the quality of the material acumulating in there poses itself as a very valuable introduction to the ever growing content available.
Phylogenetics
http://users.ugent.be/~avierstr/principles/phylogeny.html - Some therminology, basic definitions and technical details. Recommended for begginers, such as me!
Phylogenetic trees
http://cnx.org/content/m11052/latest/ - As the site defines itself: "This module introduces the student to the concept of cladograms and phylogenetic trees. It explores some online bioinformatics tools that will produce tree diagrams." Tip: There's a link to the author's homepage, wich is always useful if you wanna make contact to ask questions and learn some more.
Enjoy the reading!
