Universal Trees

Discovering the Archaeal and Bacterial Legacies

  • Chapter
Applied Microbial Systematics

Abstract

The motivations behind the construction of universal trees, phylogenies which are inclusive of all living organisms, are two-fold. First, there is the rational classification of life based on evolutionary principles and relationships. Second, universal trees provide a framework to help better understand the patterns and processes involved in early cellular evolution. However, even a cursory survey of the literature reveals that the universal tree topologies are as diverse as the molecular markers used, either ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) or proteins. Does this mean that distant evolutionary events can not be accurately reconstructed using presently available methods of phylogenetic analysis? This might be true in some cases where extreme variations in the rate of evolutionary change between different species can confound the use of certain proteins and rRNAs as molecular markers.
