Abstract
Molecular phylogenetics is the science of using molecular data (DNA and protein sequences) to infer the phylogenetic relationships among species. While traditionally morphological characters were used to infer species phylogenies, nowadays molecules are the dominating type of data for nearly all species groups. Both the development of statistical methods for phylogenetic reconstruction and divergence time estimation and the use of such methods to infer species phylogenies are major undertakings of the field.
