Distinguishing Phylogenetic Networks

چکیده
Phylogenetic networks are becoming increasingly popular in phylogenetics since they have the ability to describe a wider range of evolutionary events than their tree counterparts. In this paper, we study Markov models on phylogenetic networks and their associated geometry. We restrict our attention to large-cycle networks, networks with a single undirected cycle of length at least four. Using tools from computational algebraic geometry, we show that the semi-directed network topology is generically identifiable for Jukes-Cantor large-cycle network models.

Distinguishing Convergence on Phylogenetic Networks
In phylogenetics, the evolutionary history of a group of taxa, for example, groups of species, genera or subspecies, can be modelled using a phylogenetic tree. Alternatively, we can model evolutionary history with a phylogenetic network. On phylogenetic networks, edges that have previously evolved independently from a common ancestor may subsequently converge for a period of time. Examples of p...
متن کاملGenetic Characterization of Argas persicus From Iran by Sequencing of Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COX1) and 16s rRNA Genes
Background: Argas persicus has a great importance for health and veterinary, it can transmit many infectious agents such as Borrelia anserina (avian spirochetosis) and Aegyptianella pullorum. Distinguishing Argasidae due to close morphological relationship is difficult. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we performed molecular analyses based on PCR and sequencing of Amplicon derived from 16S rRN...
متن کاملOn Nakhleh's latest metric for phylogenetic networks
We prove that Nakhleh’s latest ‘metric’ for phylogenetic networks is a metric on the classes of tree-child phylogenetic networks, of semi-binary time consistent tree-sibling phylogenetic networks, and of multi-labeled phylogenetic trees.We also prove that it separates distinguishable phylogenetic networks. In this way, it becomes the strongest dissimilarity measure for phylogenetic networks ava...
متن کاملTwo metrics for general phylogenetic networks
We prove that Nakhleh’s latest ‘metric’ for phylogenetic networks separates distinguishable phylogenetic networks, and that a slight modification of it provides a true distance on the class of all phylogenetic networks.
متن کاملTrinets encode tree-child and level-2 phylogenetic networks.
Phylogenetic networks generalize evolutionary trees, and are commonly used to represent evolutionary histories of species that undergo reticulate evolutionary processes such as hybridization, recombination and lateral gene transfer. Recently, there has been great interest in trying to develop methods to construct rooted phylogenetic networks from triplets, that is rooted trees on three species....
