Phylogenetic Inference: Maximum Parsimony Methods
2000Abstract Maximum parsimony (MP) methods were originally developed for morphological characters (Henning 1966), and there are many different versions (Wiley 1981; Felsenstein 1982; Wiley et al. 1991; Maddison and Maddison 1992; Swofford and Begle 1993).

Simplification Methods for Maximum Parsimony: A Relational View
2011 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, 2011The reconstruction of phylogenetic trees is one of the central challenges in evolutionary biology. Costly algorithms cannot cope with the continuous growth of potential datasets, and heuristic strategies are universally adopted to curb the increased computational burden.

Maximum Parsimony Method in Phylogenetics
2018A phylogenetic tree offers a simple way of visualizing evolutionary history. Out of many possible trees one can draw to link different species, we must have a criterion to choose the best tree, just as we need a criterion to choose the best alignment (the highest alignment score given the scoring scheme) or the best substitution model (the smallest ...

Some statistical aspects of the maximum parsimony method
2002The last three decades have seen considerable debate concerning the relative merits and problems associated with two competing approaches to phylogeny--approaches based on the parsimony principle versus maximum likelihood methodology. Although the two approaches may seem quite opposed, there are in fact some close relationships between them.

Maximum Parsimony Analysis of Gene Copy Number Changes
2015Evolution of cancer cells are characterized by large scale and rapid changes in the chromosomal landscape. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique provides a way to measure the copy numbers of preselected genes in a group of cells and has been found to be a reliable source of data to model the evolution of tumor cells.

A Practical Algorithm for Haplotyping by Maximum Parsimony
Journal of Software, 2005Haplotypes, rather than genotypes are required in some disease susceptibilities and drug response tests. However, it is both time-consuming and expensive to obtain haplotypes experimentally. Therefore usually genotype data are collected in the laboratory at first, then, haplotype data are inferred from them resorting to some computational approaches ...
