A metric on phylogenetic tree shapes [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2016 Abstract The shapes of evolutionary trees are influenced by the nature of the evolutionary process, but comparisons of trees from different processes are hindered by the challenge of completely describing tree shape. We present a full characterization of the shapes of rooted branching trees in a form that lends itself to natural tree ...

Towards a Taxonomically Intelligent Phylogenetic Database [PDF]
, 2007 This note outlines some of the key intellectual obstacles that stand in the way of creating a usable phylogenetic database. These challenges include the need to accommodate multiple taxonomic names and classifications, and the need for tools to query ...

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 ...

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

Computing phylogenetic trees using topologically related minimum spanning trees
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2017 Choi et al.(Choi et al. JMLR, 2011) introduced a minimum spanning tree (MST)-based method called CLGrouping, for constructing tree-structured probabilistic graphical models, a statistical framework that is commonly used for inferring phylogenetic trees ...

DendroSSR: SSRs and sequence alignment as tools for building phylogeny trees
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 This study introduces a new method to construct phylogenetic trees by combining both of the Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) and sequence alignments.

Operads and phylogenetic trees
Theory and Applications of Categories, 2017 We construct an operad $\mathrm{Phyl}$ whose operations are the edge-labelled trees used in phylogenetics. This operad is the coproduct of $\mathrm{Com}$, the operad for commutative semigroups, and $[0,\infty)$, the operad with unary operations corresponding to nonnegative real numbers, where composition is addition.

BOOL-AN: A method for comparative sequence analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction [PDF]
, 2009 A novel discrete mathematical approach is proposed as an additional tool for molecular systematics which does not require prior statistical assumptions concerning the evolutionary process.

A navigation system for tree space
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2016 The reconstruction of evolutionary trees from data sets on overlapping sets of species is a central problem in phylogenetics. Provided that the tree reconstructed for each subset of species is rooted and that these trees fit together consistently, the ...

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.
