Tie trees generated by distance methods of phylogenetic reconstruction.
In examining genetic data in recent publications, Backeljau et al. showed cases in which two or more different trees (tie trees) were constructed from a single data set for the neighbor-joining (NJ) method and the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). However, it is still unclear how often and under what conditions tie trees are generated. Therefore, I examined these proble...
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 کاملProperties of phylogenetic trees generated by Yule-type speciation models.
We investigate some discrete structural properties of evolutionary trees generated under simple null models of speciation, such as the Yule model. These models have been used as priors in Bayesian approaches to phylogenetic analysis, and also to test hypotheses concerning the speciation process. In this paper we describe new results for three properties of trees generated under such models. Fir...
متن کاملLecture 7 : Phylogenetic Trees Reconstruction
Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA is commonly known to be responsible for encoding the information of life. Through sexual reproduction, DNA is passed on as hereditary material to offspring. During the replication of genes to be passed on to the offspring, sometimes ‘mistakes’ might occur. These mistakes cause the DNA, instead of being identical to the parent DNA, to change a little(one or more of t...
متن کاملThe transposition distance for phylogenetic trees
The search for similarity and dissimilarity measures on phylogenetic trees has been motivated by the computation of consensus trees, the search by similarity in phylogenetic databases, and the assessment of clustering results in bioinformatics. The transposition distance for fully resolved phylogenetic trees is a recent addition to the extensive collection of available metrics for comparing phy...
