Gene Trees, Species Trees, and Species Networks
The availability of whole-genome sequence data has provided a rich resource of deep insights into many biological, medical and pharmaceutical problems and applications, and is promising even more. Yet, along with these insights and promises, genomic data have given rise to many challenging problems, mainly due to the quantity and heterogeneity of such data. One of these major challenges is the ...
متن کاملGene Trees in Species Trees
—Exploration of the relationship between gene trees and their containing species trees leads to consideration of how to reconstruct species trees from gene trees and of the concept of phylogeny as a cloud of gene histories. When gene copies are sampled from various species, the gene tree relating these copies might disagree with the species phylogeny. This discord can arise from horizontal tran...
متن کاملFrom Gene Trees to Species Trees
This paper studies various algorithmic issues in reconstructing a species tree from gene trees under the duplication and the mutation cost model. This is a fundamental problem in computational molecular biology. Our main results are as follows. 1. A linear time algorithm is presented for computing all the losses in duplications associated with the least common ancestor mapping from a gene tree ...
متن کاملReconciled trees and incongruent gene and species trees
c 0000 American Mathematical Society 1052-1798/00 $1.00 + $.25 per page . We present a method for visualising and quantifying the relationship between a pair of gene and species trees that constructs a third tree termed the reconciled tree. Given a gene tree and a species tree the reconciled tree represents the history of the gene tree embedded within the species tree. The reconciled tree is co...
متن کاملCoalescent histories for discordant gene trees and species trees.
Given a gene tree and a species tree, a coalescent history is a list of the branches of the species tree on which coalescences in the gene tree take place. Each pair consisting of a gene tree topology and a species tree topology has some number of possible coalescent histories. Here we show that, for each n>or=7, there exist a species tree topology S and a gene tree topology G not equalS, both ...
