MUSSELp Data Matrices
One of the obvious advantages of modern, cladisitic systematics over traditional authoritarian classifications is the use of explicit character and taxon sets. These 2-dimensional matrices, in combination with various computer algorithms, can be used to test hypotheses of biological relationships.
This page makes available various data matrices used for phylogenetic studies of freshwater mussels (Unionoida) and their outgroups. All files are NEXUS formatted files, suitable for use with PAUP* or MacClade. To convert these files to other formats, we recommend Sequence Monkey.

Note #1
The data matrices of Hoeh et al. (1998, 2001), Bogan & Hoeh (2000) and Roe & Hoeh (2003) were assembled from GenBank and published sources by DLG. They were posted with permission of Randy Hoeh and Kevin Roe.
