Incomplete Lineage Sorting and Hybridization Statistics for Large-Scale Retroposon Insertion Data.

Ancient retroposon insertions can be used as virtually homoplasy-free markers to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of species. Inherited, orthologous insertions in related species offer reliable signals of a common origin of the given species. One prerequisite for such a phylogenetically informat...
