An improved method for identifying functionally linked proteins using phylogenetic profiles
Background: Phylogenetic profiles record the occurrence of homologs of genes across fully sequenced organisms. Proteins with similar profiles are typically components of protein c...

Finding Cognate Groups Using Phylogenies
A central problem in historical linguistics is the identification of historically related cognate words. We present a generative phylogenetic model for automatically inducing cogn...

Maximal Accurate Forests from Distance Matrices
Abstract. We present a fast converging method for distance-based phylogenetic inference, which is novel in two respects. First, it is the only method (to our knowledge) to guarante...

From learning taxonomies to phylogenetic learning: Integration of 16S rRNA gene data into FAME-based bacterial classification
Background: Machine learning techniques have shown to improve bacterial species classification based on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) data. Nonetheless, FAME analysis has a limit...

Discovering Frequent Agreement Subtrees from Phylogenetic Data
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...
