A polynomial time algorithm for calculating the probability of a ranked gene tree given a species tree [PDF]
In this paper, we provide a polynomial time algorithm to calculate the probability of a {\it ranked} gene tree topology for a given species tree, where a ranked tree topology is a tree topology with the internal vertices being ordered. The probability of

Gene trees and species trees: irreconcilable differences [PDF]
Reconciliation is the classical method for inferring a duplication and loss history from a set of extant genes. It is based upon the notion of embedding the gene tree into the species tree, the incongruence between the two indicating evidence for duplication and loss.

Axiomatic opportunities and obstacles for inferring a species tree from gene trees [PDF]
The reconstruction of a central tendency `species tree' from a large number of conflicting gene trees is a central problem in systematic biology. Moreover, it becomes particularly problematic when taxon coverage is patchy, so that not all taxa are ...

Inferring Species Trees from Incongruent Multi-Copy Gene Trees Using the Robinson-Foulds Distance [PDF]
We present a new method for inferring species trees from multi-copy gene trees. Our method is based on a generalization of the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance to multi-labeled trees (mul-trees), i.e., gene trees in which multiple leaves can have the same ...

Anomalous Unrooted Gene Trees [PDF]
The coalescent and multispecies coalescent model rooted genealogies backward through time. Often, the direction of time is unknown in trees estimated from molecular sequences due to reversible mutation models, absence of an appropriate outgroup, and the absence of the molecular clock.

Fragmentary Gene Sequences Negatively Impact Gene Tree and Species Tree Reconstruction [PDF]
Species tree reconstruction from genome-wide data is increasingly being attempted, in most cases using a two-step approach of first estimating individual gene trees and then summarizing them to obtain a species tree. The accuracy of this approach, which promises to account for gene tree discordance, depends on the quality of the inferred gene trees. At

Chromosome-level genome assembly of a parent species of widely cultivated azaleas
Azaleas are one of the most diverse ornamental plants and have cultural and economic importance. Here, the authors report a chromosome-scale genome assembly for the primary ancestor of the azalea cultivar Rhododendro simsi and identify transcription ...
