We present new methods for reconstructing reticulate evolution of species due to events such as horizontal transfer or hybrid speciation; both methods are based upon extensions of...
Abstract. The method of invariants is an approach to the problem of reconstructing the phylogenetic tree of a collection of m taxa using nucleotide sequence data. Models for the re...
Background: Likelihood-based phylogenetic inference is generally considered to be the most reliable classification method for unknown sequences. However, traditional likelihood-ba...

Abstract— We analyze the performance of likelihoodbased approaches used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees. Unlike other techniques such as Neighbor-Joining (NJ) and Maximum Parsi...
The growing availability of complete genomic sequences from diverse species has brought about the need to scale up phylogenomic analyses, including the reconstruction of large col...
