Case Study: Visualizing Sets of Evolutionary Trees
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...

Evolutionary Trees and Ordinal Assertions
Sequence data for a group of species is often summarized by a distance matrix M where M[s, t] is the dissimilarity between the sequences of species s and t. An ordinal assertion is...

An Experimental Analysis of Robinson-Foulds Distance Matrix Algorithms
In this paper, we study two fast algorithms--HashRF and PGM-Hashed--for computing the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance matrix between a collection of evolutionary trees. The RF distan...

Multiple sequence alignment accuracy and evolutionary distance estimation
Background: Sequence alignment is a common tool in bioinformatics and comparative genomics. It is generally assumed that multiple sequence alignment yields better results than pai...

Scoredist: A simple and robust protein sequence distance estimator
Background: Distance-based methods are popular for reconstructing evolutionary trees thanks to their speed and generality. A number of methods exist for estimating distances from ...
