On the Linear-cost Subtree-transfer Distance between Phylogenetic Trees (revised Version of Dimacs Technical Report 97-18) 1
Di erent phylogenetic trees for the same group of species are often produced either by procedures that use diverse optimality criteria [16] or from di erent genes [12] in the study of molecular evolution. Comparing these trees to nd their similarities and dissimilarities (i.e. distance) is thus an important issue in computational molecular biology. Several distance metrics including the nearest...
متن کاملOn the Maximum Parsimony distance between phylogenetic trees
Within the field of phylogenetics there is great interest in distance measures to quantify the dissimilarity of two trees. Here, based on an idea of Bruen and Bryant, we propose and analyze a new distance measure: the Maximum Parsimony (MP) distance. This is based on the difference of the parsimony scores of a single character on both trees under consideration, and the goal is to find the chara...
متن کاملOn the maximum quartet distance between phylogenetic trees
A conjecture of Bandelt and Dress states that the maximum quartet distance between any two phylogenetic trees on n leaves is at most ( 23 + o(1)) ( n 4 ) . Using the machinery of flag algebras we improve the currently known bounds regarding this conjecture, in particular we show that the maximum is at most (0.69 + o(1)) ( n 4 ) . We also give further evidence that the conjecture is true by prov...
متن کاملTreewidth distance on phylogenetic trees
In this article we study the treewidth of the display graph, an auxiliary graph structure obtained from the fusion of phylogenetic (i.e., evolutionary) trees at their leaves. Earlier work has shown that the treewidth of the display graph is bounded if the trees are in some formal sense topologically similar. Here we further expand upon this relationship. We analyse a number of reduction rules w...
متن کاملOn a matching distance between rooted phylogenetic trees
The Robinson–Foulds (RF) distance is the most popular method of evaluating the dissimilarity between phylogenetic trees. In this paper, we define and explore in detail properties of the Matching Cluster (MC) distance, which can be regarded as a refinement of the RF metric for rooted trees. Similarly to RF, MC operates on clusters of compared trees, but the distance evaluation is more complex. U...
