Reconstructing reticulate evolution in species: theory and practice
We present new methods for reconstructing reticulate evolution of species due to events such as horizontal transfer or hybrid speciation; both methods are based upon extensions of...

Evaluation of phylogenetic footprint discovery for predicting bacterial cis-regulatory elements and revealing their evolution
Background: The detection of conserved motifs in promoters of orthologous genes (phylogenetic footprints) has become a common strategy to predict cis-acting regulatory elements. S...

Linear Decision Trees: Volume Estimates and Topological Bounds
Abstract. We describe two methods for estimating the size and depth of decision trees where a linear test is performed at each node. Both methods are applied to the question of dec...
