Computing the minimum number of hybridization events for a consistent evolutionary history
It is now well-documented that the structure of evolutionary relationships between a set of present-day species is not necessarily tree-like. The reason for this is that reticulat...

Greedy Heuristics and an Evolutionary Algorithm for the Bounded-Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...

msBayes: Pipeline for testing comparative phylogeographic histories using hierarchical approximate Bayesian computation
Background: Although testing for simultaneous divergence (vicariance) across different population-pairs that span the same barrier to gene flow is of central importance to evoluti...

On the Application of Evolutionary Algorithms to the Consensus Tree Problem
Computing consensus trees amounts to finding a single tree that summarizes a collection of trees. Three evolutionary algorithms are defined for this problem, featuring characteri...

Fast estimation of the difference between two PAM/JTT evolutionary distances in triplets of homologous sequences
Background: The estimation of the difference between two evolutionary distances within a triplet of homologs is a common operation that is used for example to determine which of t...
