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...

Abstract. Phylogenetic trees are tree structures that depict relationships between organisms. Popular analysis techniques often produce large collections of candidate trees, which ...

Background: The ever-increasing wealth of genomic sequence information provides an unprecedented opportunity for large-scale phylogenetic analysis. However, species phylogeny infe...
We propose a novel distance based method for phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Our method is based on a conceptual clustering method that extends the well-known decision tree learn...
Background: Two central problems in computational biology are the determination of the alignment and phylogeny of a set of biological sequences. The traditional approach to this p...
