Conceptual overview of methods for inferring species trees from genomic data. We begin with All Genes, clustering them into gene families. We can then use single-copy ortholog clusters for inference (Data set 1), use tree-based decomposition approaches to extract orthologs from all clusters (Data set 2), or infer species trees from all clusters (i.e., from data sets including orthologs and paralogs; Data set 3).
