AB - AbstractIn this article, we review (1) statistical tests of DNA phylogenies inferred by the maximumparsimony method, including tests that take into account the effect of different base compositions among lineages, (2) statistical tests based on the minimum-evolution criterion, i.e., the best tree is the tree with the smallest sum of branch-length estimates, and (3) the bootstrap technique for estimating the confidence level of a phylogenetic hypothesis based on either the maximum-parsimony or the neighbor-joining method. We explain why the bootstrap technique usually gives biased estimates and how to correct the bias.
