Background: Inference of evolutionary trees using the maximum likelihood principle is NP-hard. Therefore, all practical methods rely on heuristics. The topological transformations...

We introduce new distance measures for the construction and analysis of phylogenies, focusing on thioredoxin-fold proteins. Our distance measures for tree construction are based o...

Abstract. Most phylogenetics literature and construction methods based upon characters presume monomorphism (one state per character per species), yet polymorphism (multiple states...

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...

Phylogenetics is concerned with inferring the genealogical relationships between a group of organisms (or taxa), and this relationship is usually expressed as an evolutionary tree....

Abstract. Gene trees are leaf-labeled trees inferred from molecular sequences. Due to duplication events arising in genome evolution, gene trees usually have multiple copies of som...
