Phylogenetic tree-building

International Journal for Parasitology, 1996
Cladistic analysis is an approach to phylogeny reconstruction that groups taxa in such a way that those with historically more-recent ancestors form groups nested within groups of taxa with more-distant ancestors. This nested set of taxa can be represented as a branching diagram or tree (a cladogram), which is an hypothesis of the evolutionary history ...

Statistics for phylogenetic trees

Theoretical Population Biology, 2003
This paper poses the problem of estimating and validating phylogenetic trees in statistical terms. The problem is hard enough to warrant several tacks: we reason by analogy to rounding real numbers, and dealing with ranking data. These are both cases where, as in phylogeny the parameters of interest are not real numbers.

Phylogenetic Trees

2000
Abstract Phylogenetic analysis of DNA or protein sequences has become an important tool for studying the evolutionary history of organisms from bacteria to humans. Since the rate of sequence evolution varies extensively with gene or DNA segment (Wilson et al. 1977; Dayhoff et al.

X-trees and phylogenetic trees

2003
Abstract Phylogenetic trees’ provide a standard graphical representation of evolutionary relation-ships in biology. However, from a mathematical perspective, it is natural to consider a slightly more general class of objects called ‘X-trees‘. Briefly, an X-tree is a finite tree in which some vertices (including all vertices of degree one

From Quartets to Phylogenetic Trees

1998
Constructing phylogenetic (or evolutionary) trees from biological data is a classical problem in biology, and it still is a major challenge today. Most realistic formulations of the problem, which take errors into account, give rise to hard computational problems. In this survey paper we concentrate on quartet based tree reconstruction methods.
