A supertree method for rooted trees
Abstract. The amalgamation of leaf-labelled (phylogenetic) trees on overlapping leaf sets into one (super)tree is a central problem in several areas of classification, particularly...

The Average Common Substring Approach to Phylogenomic Reconstruction
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...

What's in a character?
Systematic analyses are included as integral parts of bioinformatic analysis. The use of phenetic and phylogenetic trees in many of the newer areas of biology create a need for bi...

Genome BLAST distance phylogenies inferred from whole plastid and whole mitochondrion genome sequences
Background: Phylogenetic methods which do not rely on multiple sequence alignments are important tools in inferring trees directly from completely sequenced genomes. Here, we exte...

RibAlign: a software tool and database for eubacterial phylogeny based on concatenated ribosomal protein subunits
Background: Until today, analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences has been the de-facto gold standard for the assessment of phylogenetic relationships among prokaryotes. How...
