DNA-DNA and hybridization

The use of techniques such as DNA-DNA hybridization to study evolutionary relationships was pioneered by Charles Sibley and Jon Edward Ahlquist resulting in what is called the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy.
However, the resolution of the DNA-DNA hybridization technique used by Sibley & Ahlquist was not sufficient to properly resolve the relationships in this group, and indeed it appears as if the Charadriiformes consititute a single large and very distinctive lineage of modern birds of their own.
Following the development of research techniques in molecular biology in the late 20th century, in particular methods for studying DNA-DNA hybridization, a great deal of new information has surfaced, much of it suggesting that many birds, although looking very different from one another, are in fact more closely related than was previously thought.
Molecular studies such as DNA-DNA hybridization ( Sibley & Ahlquist, 1990 ) and sequence analyses fail to resolve the relationships of grebes properly due to insufficient resolution in the former and long-branch attraction in the latter.
* ( 1988 ): A classification of the living birds of the world based on DNA-DNA hybridization studies.

It is based on DNA-DNA hybridization studies conducted in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s.
DNA-DNA hybridization is among a class of comparative techniques in molecular biology that produce distance data ( versus character data ) and that can be analyzed to produce phylogenetic reconstructions only using phenetic tree-building algorithms.
In DNA-DNA hybridization, the percent similarity of DNA between two species is estimated by the reduction in hydrogen bonding between nucleotides of imperfectly complemented heteroduplex DNA ( i. e., double stranded DNAs that are experimentally produced from single strands of two different species ), compared with perfectly matched homoduplex DNA ( both strands of DNA from the same species ).
However the classification study did not employ modern cladistic methods, as it relies strictly on DNA-DNA hybridization as the sole measure of similarity.
Initial mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis ( Mariaux & Braun 1996 ) agreed with earlier morphological ( Cracraft 1981 ) and DNA-DNA hybridization ( Sibley & Ahlquist 1990 ) studies insofar as that the oilbird and the frogmouths seemed rather distinct.
The swallows and martins are morphologically unique within the passerines, but the use of DNA-DNA hybridization studies has suggested relationships with the Old World warblers ( a large wastebin taxon that has recently been split into several new families ), the white-eyes and the tits.
This makes the expanded Sturnidae a rather noninformative group and is probably due to the methodological drawbacks of their DNA-DNA hybridization technique.
Estimate of relationships among subgenera based on DNA-DNA hybridization.
DNA-DNA hybridization and RAG-1 sequence data places it as a wader related to the jacanas ( Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, Paton et al.
The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy elevated them to ordinal status as the Turniciformes and basal to other Neoaves either because their accelerated rate of molecular evolution exceeded the limits of sensitivity of DNA-DNA hybridization or because the authors did not perform the appropriate pairwise comparisons or both.
Morphological, DNA-DNA hybridization and sequence data indicate that turnicids correctly belong to the shorebirds ( Charadriiformes ).
However, the grouping of Sibley & Monroe ( besides leaving the subfamily rank vacant ) is overly coarse due to methodological drawbacks of their DNA-DNA hybridization technique and most of their proposed revisions of taxonomic rank have not been accepted ( see for example Ciconiiformes ).
* Sheldon, Frederick H .; McCracken, Kevin G. & Stuebing, Keeley D. ( 1995 ): Phylogenetic relationships of the zigzag heron ( Zebrilus undulatus ) and white-crested bittern ( Tigriornis leucolophus ) estimated by DNA-DNA hybridization.
DNA-DNA hybridization generally refers to a molecular biology technique that measures the degree of genetic similarity between pools of DNA sequences.

DNA-DNA and placed
The relationship of the Petroicidae to other bird families is uncertain ; Sibley and Alquist's DNA-DNA hybridisation studies had placed them in the Corvoidea ( a huge group that includes the shrikes, crows and jays, butcherbirds, woodswallows, drongos, cuckoo-shrike, fantails, monarch flycatchers and many others ).
On the other hand, DNA-DNA hybridization ( Sibley & Ahlquist 1990 ) placed the white-eyes closer to Sylvia.
The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy of birds, based upon DNA-DNA hybridization, suggested that the Limpkin's closest relatives were the Heliornithidae finfoots, and Sibley and Monroe even placed the species in that family in 1990.
The exact delimitation of boundaries of the family are uncertain, for example the genus Mohoua, which is endemic to New Zealand has been placed with the family based on a number of morphological features and DNA-DNA hybridization studies, but the placement is still controversial.
Charles Sibley's DNA-DNA hybridization studies placed them close to the lyrebirds ; however, anatomical evidence appears to contradict this placement, and the true relationship remains unclear.
Sibley and Ahlquist's DNA-DNA hybridisation studies placed the robins in a Corvida parvorder comprising many tropical and Australian passerines including pardalotes, fairy-wrens and honeyeaters as well as crows.

DNA-DNA and early
Sibley and Ahlquist's landmark DNA-DNA hybridisation studies ( see Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy ) led to them placing the families traditionally contained within the Pelecaniformes together with the grebes, cormorants, ibises and spoonbills, New World vultures, storks, penguins, albatrosses, petrels, and loons together as a sub-group within a greatly expanded order Ciconiiformes, a radical move which by now has been all but rejected: their " Ciconiiformes " merely assembled all early advanced land-and seabirds for which their research technique delivered insufficient phylogenetic resolution.
By the early 1970s Sibley was pioneering DNA-DNA hybridisation studies, with the aim of discovering, once and for all, the true relationships between the modern orders of birds.

DNA-DNA and which
This is based on DNA-DNA hybridization studies, which are phenetic however and therefore not considered methodologically adequate today.
In January 1991 ( often listed as 1990 ), Charles Sibley and Ahlquist published Phylogeny and Classification of Birds, which presented a new phylogeny for birds based on DNA-DNA hybridisation techniques, known as the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy.

DNA-DNA and New
In their pioneering DNA-DNA hybridisation work, Sibley and Ahlquist found that the genetic difference between the eared-nightjars and the typical nightjars was, in fact, greater than that between the typical nightjars and the nighthawks of the New World.

DNA-DNA and World

" preliminary DNA-DNA hybridization comparisons [...] indicate that this species is either a relative of the Old World Eurylaimidae or a sister group of all other Tyrannida, as suggested by earlier biochemical studies [...] In any event, it is not a close relative of manakins or any other recent tyrannoid.

DNA-DNA and ),
The Bearded Reedling tended to appear close to larks in phylogenies based on e. g. DNA-DNA hybridization ( Sibley & Ahlquist 1990 ), or on mtDNA cytochrome b and nDNA c-myc exon 3, RAG-1 and myoglobin intron 2 sequence data ( Ericson & Johansson 2003 ).
