Discovering local patterns of co - evolution: computational aspects and biological examples
Background: Co-evolution is the process in which two (or more) sets of orthologs exhibit a similar or correlative pattern of evolution. Co-evolution is a powerful way to learn abo...

Phylogenetic networks do not need to be complex: using fewer reticulations to represent conflicting clusters
Phylogenetic trees are widely used to display estimates of how groups of species evolved. Each phylogenetic tree can be seen as a collection of clusters, subgroups of the species ...

Visual Triangulation of Network-Based Phylogenetic Trees
Phylogenetic trees are built by examining differences in the biological traits of a set of species. An example of such a trait is a biological network such as a metabolic pathway,...

A Novel Approach for Compressing Phylogenetic Trees
Abstract. Phylogenetic trees are tree structures that depict relationships between organisms. Popular analysis techniques often produce large collections of candidate trees, which ...

A Compressed Format for Collections of Phylogenetic Trees and Improved Consensus Performance
Phylogenetic tree searching algorithms often produce thousands of trees which biologists save in Newick format in order to perform further analysis. Unfortunately, Newick is neithe...
