Abstract. In a horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event a gene is transferred between two species that do not share an ancestor-descendant relationship. Typically, no more than a few g...
A fundamental task in evolutionary biology is the amalgamation of a collection P of leaf-labelled trees into a single parent tree. A desirable feature of any such amalgamation is ...

Background: In recent years, quartet-based phylogeny reconstruction methods have received considerable attentions in the computational biology community. Traditionally, the accura...
We describe a visualization tool which allows a biologist to explore a large set of hypothetical evolutionary trees. Interacting with such a dataset allows the biologist to identi...
