Since the dawn of evolutionary biology, it was the dream of scientists to obtain a meaningful tree of life (a phylogenetic tree). Regarding the prokaryotic universe (Bacteria and Archaea), a main question of phylogenetics is whether there exists a prokaryotic tree of life actually. Those organisms exhibit mechanisms for the direct exchange of genetic material between cells that can belong to different species (horizontal gene transfer). In this book, the GBDP framework for inferring phylogenies based on whole genomes is introduced. Furthermore, the amount of horizontal gene transfer in a commo...
