A topological transformation in evolutionary tree search methods based on maximum likelihood combining p-ECR and neighbor joinin
Background: Inference of evolutionary trees using the maximum likelihood principle is NP-hard. Therefore, all practical methods rely on heuristics. The topological transformations...

Taxon ordering in phylogenetic trees: a workbench test
Background: Phylogenetic trees are an important tool for representing evolutionary relationships among organisms. In a phylogram or chronogram, the ordering of taxa is not conside...

Reconstructing an Ultrametric Galled Phylogenetic Network from a Distance Matrix
Abstract. Given a distance matrix M that specifies the pairwise evolutionary distances between n species, the phylogenetic tree reconstruction problem asks for an edge-weighted ph...
