Timeline for How are DNA virus cladograms actually calculated in practice? Is the procedure different for RNA viruses? Are these processes somewhat subjective?

It seems that since there can be such flexibility in one's choice of clock models, one could argue that the answer to "Are these processes somewhat subjective?" is "Yes!" | |

| May 24, 2022 at 5:38 | comment | added | Darlingtonia | This question is slightly different than the suggested similar questions about the S,G,V clades. This question is about phylogenetic reconstruction generally, while the others were asking more how to identify an unknown sample within an existing phylogeny. | |

| May 23, 2022 at 22:19 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | For what it's worth, clades are not something specific to viruses, but all biology. A clade is a group of organisms with a common ancestor; cladistics is the study of the ancestral relationships of organisms and classification by those relationships. | |
| May 23, 2022 at 21:05 | comment | added | uhoh | potentially related: How can I classify the 3 clades(S, G, V) of the coronavirus that are found on GISAID? and in bioinformatics How can I classify the 3 clades(S, G, V) of the coronavirus without using protein data? As I'm not a bioinformaticist and not likely to understand answers written in bioinformatic-ese, I've chosen to post this here rather than there. | |
| May 23, 2022 at 20:58 | comment | added | uhoh | I understand that there are three question marks in the title and one might at first suggest this is multiple questions, but in this particular case I don't think it's better to break this up into three separate question posts because they are so closely related and answers will likely come from the same sources and require the same expertise to write and future readers will find them equally interesting. But if a potential answer author feels strongly otherwise I am certainly willing to consider a breakup. | |
