We present new and novel insights into the behavior of two maximum parsimony heuristics for building evolutionary trees of different sizes. First, our results show that the heuris...

We propose a novel distance based method for phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Our method is based on a conceptual clustering method that extends the well-known decision tree learn...
Background: Construction and interpretation of phylogenetic trees has been a major research topic for understanding the evolution of genes. Increases in sequence data and complexi...
We study a new data mining problem concerning the discovery of frequent agreement subtrees (FASTs) from a set of phylogenetic trees. A phylogenetic tree, or phylogeny, is an unorde...
Gene duplication and divergence is a major evolutionary force. Despite the growing number of fully sequenced genomes, methods for investigating these events on a genome-wide scale...
