UPDATE: Must read papers for graduate students
Following up on my previous post, here is the list of ‘Must Read’ papers in phylogenetics that were suggested on Twitter. I think that this is a great start, even though it is missing some classics and some important topics (divergence time estimation, for example). Thanks to everyone for chipping in with their thoughts and thanks again to Matt Hahn and Matt Pennell for getting the conversation started.
I apologize if I missed anyone’s contributions. Feel free to suggest additions, either here in the comments or on twitter with the hashtag #mustreadphylo.

We liked this item, its really awesome. I might have a suggestion, but Im not causing a quarrel :p Anyway, keep up the nice work, and until next time!
wonderful points altogether, you simply won a new reader.
What might you suggest in regards to your submit that you made a few
days in the past? Any sure?
