Inference of phylogenetic trees using the maximum likelihood (ML) method is NP-hard. Furthermore, the computation of the likelihood function for huge trees of more than 1,000 orga...
Inference of phylogenetic trees comprising hundreds or even thousands of organisms based on the maximum likelihood method is computationally extremely expensive. In previous work,...
Background: MapReduce is a parallel framework that has been used effectively to design largescale parallel applications for large computing clusters. In this paper, we evaluate th...
—Recent advances in DNA sequencing techniques have led to an unprecedented accumulation and availability of molecular sequence data that needs to be analyzed. This data explosion...
The problem of determining the evolutionary history of species in the form of phylogenetic trees is known as the phylogeny problem. We present a parallelization of the character c...
