Topological Bias in Distance-Based Phylogenetic Methods: Problems with Over- and Underestimated Genetic Distances

I show several types of topological biases in distance-based methods that use the least-squares method to evaluate branch lengths and the minimum evolution (ME) or the Fitch-Margoliash (FM) criterion to choose the best tree. For a 6-species tree, there are two tree shapes, one with three cherries (a...
