Reconstructing Minimal Rooted Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
For a set T of rooted binary leaf-labelled trees, we present an algorithm that finds all of the minor-minimal trees that are compatible with T . The running time of this algorithm is polynomial up to the number of trees with this property. This type of problem arises in several areas of classification, particularly evolutionary biology.

Counting consistent phylogenetic trees is #P-complete
Reconstructing phylogenetic trees is a fundamental task in evolutionary biology. Various algorithms exist for this purpose, many of which come under the heading of ‘supertree methods.’ These methods amalgamate a collection P of phylogenetic trees into a single parent tree. In this paper, we show that, in both the rooted and unrooted settings, counting the number of parent trees that preserve al...
متن کاملMinimal Phylogenetic Supertrees and Local Consensus Trees
The problem of constructing a minimally resolved phylogenetic supertree (i.e., having the smallest possible number of internal nodes) that contains all of the rooted triplets from a consistent set R is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we prove that constructing a phylogenetic tree consistent with R that contains the minimum number of additional rooted triplets is also NP-hard, and develop ex...
متن کاملReconstructing a Bounded-Degree Directed Tree Using Path Queries
We present a randomized algorithm for reconstructing directed rooted trees of n nodes and node degree at most d, by asking at most O(dn log n) path queries. Each path query takes as input an origin node and a target node, and answers whether there is a directed path from the origin to the target. Our algorithm is only a factor of O(d log n) from the informationtheoretic lower bound of Ω(n log n...
متن کامل4-PLACEMENT OF ROOTED TREES
A tree T of order n is called k-placement if there are k edge-disjoint copies of T into K_{n}. In this paper we prove some results about 4-placement of rooted trees.
متن کاملInferring phylogeny from whole genomes
MOTIVATION Inferring species phylogenies with a history of gene losses and duplications is a challenging and an important task in computational biology. This problem can be solved by duplication-loss models in which the primary step is to reconcile a rooted gene tree with a rooted species tree. Most modern methods of phylogenetic reconstruction (from sequences) produce unrooted gene trees. This...
