"Information-theoretic limits for molecular evolution, and how to
peel phylogenetic oranges"
In the first part of this talk I describe some recent joint results
that provide information-theoretic bounds on the extent to which
multi-state character data can be used to infer phylogenies and
determine deep divergences. In the second part I describe some new
results (with Vincent Moulton) concerning the topology of a space
that arises naturally under standard Markovian models of sequence
evolution on trees
