Our energy function was selected as the most parsimonious analytical expression corresponding to the concept of synonym and antonym vector alignment.
Other data presented in Table 3 do not allow to propose one most parsimonious scenario for expression pattern evolution: one-species characteristic i.e. apomorphy, or two-species characteristic leading to convergence (mouse (m) + medaka (o), or zebrafish (d) + dogfish (s)).
Thus, different temperatures and salinities encountered by glass eels at time of capture may not be the most parsimonious explanation for the observation of differential expression between origins.
The parsimony analysis yielded 56 most parsimonious trees with a total length of 2407 steps.
The second hypothesis (expression of a mitochondrial gene) is the most parsimonious hypothesis.
Maximum parsimony (MP) analysis yielded 18,300 most parsimonious trees with 308 steps.
Twenty-two most parsimonious trees were obtained in the Parsimony analyses.
The parsimony analysis resulted in 1,130 most parsimonious trees with a tree score of 336.
The parsimony analysis yielded 19 equally most parsimonious trees (length = 5305 steps, CI = 0.12, RI = 0.62).
Figure 2a shows one of 100 most parsimonious trees saved during the unweighted parsimony analysis.
