A GA for maximum likelihood phylogenetic inference using neighbour-joining as a genotype to phenotype mapping
Evolutionary relationships among species can be represented by a phylogenetic tree and inferred by optimising some measure of fitness, such as the statistical likelihood of the t...

Approximate Maximum Parsimony and Ancestral Maximum Likelihood
— 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...

Finding a maximum likelihood tree is hard
Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) is an increasingly popular optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees [Felsenstein 1981]. Finding optimal ML trees appears to be a very...
