A Cluster Reduction for Computing the Subtree Distance between Phylogenies
Calculating the rooted subtree prune and regraft (rSPR) distance between two rooted binary phylogenetic trees is a frequently applied process in various areas of molecular evolution. However, computing this distance is an NP-hard problem and practical algorithms for computing it exactly are rare. In this paper, a divide-and-conquer approach to calculating the rSPR distance is established. This ...
متن کاملA 3-approximation algorithm for the subtree distance between phylogenies
In this paper, we give a (polynomial-time) 3-approximation algorithm for the rooted subtree prune and regraft distance between two phylogenetic trees. This problem is known to be NP-complete and the best previously known approximation algorithm is a 5-approximation. We also give a faster fixed-parameter algorithm for the rooted subtree prune and regraft distance than was previously known.
متن کاملSubtree Transfer Distance For Degree-D Phylogenies
The subtree transfer (STT) distance is one of the distance metric for comparing phylogenies. Previous work on computing the STT distance considered degree-3 trees only. In this paper, we give an approximation algorithm for the STT distance for degreed trees with arbitrary d and with generalized STT operations. Also, some NP-hardness results related to STT distance are presented.
متن کاملApproximating Subtree Distances Between Phylogenies
We give a 5-approximation algorithm to the rooted Subtree-Prune-and-Regraft (rSPR) distance between two phylogenies, which was recently shown to be NP-complete. This paper presents the first approximation result for this important tree distance. The algorithm follows a standard format for tree distances. The novel ideas are in the analysis. In the analysis, the cost of the algorithm uses a "cas...
متن کاملChain Reduction Preserves the Unrooted Subtree Prune-and-Regraft Distance
The subtree prune-and-regraft (SPR) distance metric is a fundamental way of comparing evolutionary trees. It has wide-ranging applications, such as to study lateral genetic transfer, viral recombination, and Markov chain Monte Carlo phylogenetic inference. Although the rooted version of SPR distance can be computed relatively efficiently between rooted trees using fixed-parameter-tractable algo...
