Background: Popular methods to reconstruct molecular phylogenies are based on multiple sequence alignments, in which addition or removal of data may change the resulting tree topo...

Conserved intervals were recently introduced as a measure of similarity between genomes whose genes have been shuffled during evolution by genomic rearrangements. Phylogenetic reco...

In some cases, evolutionary algorithms represent individuals as typical binary trees with n leaves and n-1 internal nodes. When designing a crossover operator for a particular rep...
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...
This paper investigates the standard ordinary least-squares version 24 and the balanced version 20 of the minimum evolution principle. For the standard version, we provide a greedy...
