Information Theoretic Approaches to Whole Genome Phylogenies
We describe a novel method for efficient reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, based on sequences of whole genomes or proteomes, whose lengths may greatly vary. The core of our me...

Improving Tree Search in Phylogenetic Reconstruction from Genome Rearrangement Data
Abstract. A major task in evolutionary biology is to determine the ancestral relationships among the known species, a process generally referred as phylogenetic reconstruction. In ...
