Biochemical and phylogenetic networks-II: X-trees and phylogenetic trees [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, 2021 The present study, which is a continuation of the previous paper, augments a recent work on the use of phylogenetic networks. We develop techniques to characterize the topology of various X-trees and binary trees of biological and phylogenetic interests. We have obtained the results for various k-level X-trees and phylogenetic networks with variants of

Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry, 2021 We introduce the package PhylogeneticTrees for Macaulay2 which allows users to compute phylogenetic invariants for group-based tree models. We provide some background information on phylogenetic algebraic geometry and show how the package PhylogeneticTrees can be used to calculate a generating set for a phylogenetic ideal as well as a lower bound for ...

Matchings and phylogenetic trees [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 This paper presents a natural coordinate system for phylogenetic trees using a correspondence with the set of perfect matchings in the complete graph. This correspondence produces a distance between phylogenetic trees, and a way of enumerating all trees in a minimal step order. It is useful in randomized algorithms because it enables moves on the space

Drawing Phylogenetic Trees [PDF]
, 2005 We present linear-time algorithms for drawing phylogenetic trees in radial and circular representations. In radial drawings given edge lengths (representing evolutionary distances) are preserved, but labels (names of taxons represented in the leaves) need to be adjusted, whereas in circular drawings labels are perfectly spread out, but edge lengths ...

Are allometric model parameters of aboveground biomass for trees phylogenetically constrained?
Plant Diversity, 2023 Knowledge of which biological and functional traits have, or lack, phylogenetic signal in a particular group of organisms is important to understanding the formation and functioning of biological communities.

Towards a barnacle tree of life: integrating diverse phylogenetic efforts into a comprehensive hypothesis of thecostracan evolution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Barnacles and their allies (Thecostraca) are a biologically diverse, monophyletic crustacean group, which includes both intensely studied taxa, such as the acorn and stalked barnacles, as well as cryptic taxa, for example, Facetotecta.

AMY-tree: an algorithm to use whole genome SNP calling for Y chromosomal phylogenetic applications
BMC Genomics, 2013 Background Due to the rapid progress of next-generation sequencing (NGS) facilities, an explosion of human whole genome data will become available in the coming years.

Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2023 Objective In mathematical phylogenetics, a labeled rooted binary tree topology can possess any of a number of labeled histories, each of which represents a possible temporal ordering of its coalescences.

Characterization of a Branch of the Phylogenetic Tree [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2003 We use a combination of analytic models and computer simulations to gain insight into the dynamics of evolution. Our results suggest that certain interesting phenomena should eventually emerge from the fossil record. For example, there should be a ``tortoise and hare effect'': Those genera with the smallest species death rate are likely to survive much
