Background: Today it is common to apply multiple potentially conflicting data sources to a given phylogenetic problem. At the same time, several different inference techniques are...
Background: Automated methods for assembling families of orthologous genes include those based on sequence similarity scores and those based on phylogenetic approaches. The first ...
Background: To understand the evolutionary role of Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT), accurate methods are needed to identify transferred genes and infer their timing of acquisition. Ph...

We study the convergence rates of neighbor-joining and several new phylogenetic reconstruction methods on families of trees of bounded diameter. Our study presents theoretically ob...

Phylogenetic trees are built by examining differences in the biological traits of a set of species. An example of such a trait is a biological network such as a metabolic pathway,...
