Fast recovery of evolutionary trees with thousands of nodes
We present a novel distance-based algorithm for evolutionary tree reconstruction. Our algorithm reconstructs the topology of a tree with n leaves in O(n2 ) time using O(n) working...

Contextual Genetic Algorithms: Evolving Developmental Rules
A genetic algorithm scheme with a stochastic genotype/phenotype relation is proposed. The mechanisms responsible for this intermediate level of uncertainty, are inspired by the bio...

Polyploids, genome halving and phylogeny
Autopolyploidization and allopolyploidization events multiply the number of chromosomes and genomic content. Genome rearrangement phylogenetics requires that all genomes analyzed ...

The Geometry of the Neighbor-Joining Algorithm for Small Trees
In 2007, Eickmeyer et al. showed that the tree topologies outputted by the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) algorithm and the balanced minimum evolution (BME) method for phylogenetic reconstr...

Identifying Chimerism in Proteins Using Hidden Markov Models of Codon Usage
Protein chimerism is a phenomenon involving the combination of multiple ancestral sequences into a single, multi-domain protein through evolution. We propose a novel method for de...
