— We explore the maximum parsimony (MP) and ancestral maximum likelihood (AML) criteria in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Both problems are NP hard, so we seek approximate sol...
This paper is concerned with the reconstruction of perfect phylogenies from binary character data with missing values, and related problems of inferring complete haplotypes from h...
Identifying maternal and paternal inheritance is essential to be able to find the set of genes responsible for a particular disease. Although we have access to genotype data (gene...
Abstract. In this paper, we study lower bound techniques for branchand-bound algorithms for maximum parsimony, with a focus on gene order data. We give a simple O(n3 ) time dynamic...

A critical step in all quartet methods for constructing evolutionary trees is the inference of the topology for each set of four sequences (i.e. quartet). It is a well–known fact...
