Question

Which of the following is incorrect about Caveats?

(a) Unusually high GC content in the original dataset is the potential cause for generating biased trees

(b) Unusually accelerated evolutionary rates is the potential cause for generating biased trees

(c) Unusually accelerated evolutionary rates is the potential cause for generating biased bootstrap estimates

(d) Not a large number of bootstrap re-sampling steps are needed to achieve yielding results

I had been asked this question in unit test.

I'd like to ask this question from Phylogenetic Tree Evaluation in division Phylogenetic Tree Construction Methods and Programs of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) Not a large number of bootstrap re-sampling steps are needed to achieve yielding results

Best explanation: In addition, from a statistical point of view, a large number of bootstrap resampling steps are needed to achieve meaningful results. It is generally recommended that a phylogenetic tree should be bootstrapped 500 to 1,000 times. However, this presents a practical dilemma.
