 AB    Molecular investigations of evolutionary history are being used to study
       subjects as diverse as the epidemiology of acquired immune deficiency
       syndrome and the origin of life. These studies depend on accurate
       estimates of phylogeny. The performance of methods of phylogenetic
       analysis can be assessed by numerical simulation studies and by the
       experimental evolution of organisms in controlled laboratory situations.
       Both kinds of assessment indicate that existing methods are effective at
       estimating phylogenies over a wide range of evolutionary conditions,
       especially if information about substitution bias is used to provide
       differential weightings for character transformations.
