Constructing Rooted Phylogenetic Networks from Triplets based on Height Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of constructing an optimal rooted phylogenetic network from a set of rooted triplets is NP-hard. In this paper, we present a novel method called NCH, which tries to construct a rooted phylogenetic network with the minimum numberof reticulation nodes from an arbitrary set of rooted triplets based on the concept of the height function of a tree and a network. We report the performance of this method on simulated data. Keywords— Rooted phylogenetic network, Triplet, Density, Consistency, Height function, Reticulation node

TripNet: A Method for Constructing Rooted Phylogenetic Networks from Rooted Triplets
The problem of constructing an optimal rooted phylogenetic network from an arbitrary set of rooted triplets is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm called TripNet, which tries to construct a rooted phylogenetic network with the minimum number of reticulation nodes from an arbitrary set of rooted triplets. Despite of current methods that work for dense set of roote...

The problem of constructing an optimal rooted phylogenetic network from a set of rooted triplets is an NP-hard problem.

We prove some theorems to justify the performance of the algorithm.
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....
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 کاملHow Much Information is Needed to Infer Reticulate Evolutionary Histories?
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary trees and are an important tool for analyzing reticulate evolutionary histories. Recently, there has been great interest in developing new methods to construct rooted phylogenetic networks, that is, networks whose internal vertices correspond to hypothetical ancestors, whose leaves correspond to sampled taxa, and in which vertices with ...
