Information geometry for phylogenetic trees [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2021 AbstractWe propose a new space of phylogenetic trees which we callwald space. The motivation is to develop a space suitable for statistical analysis of phylogenies, but with a geometry based on more biologically principled assumptions than existing spaces: in wald space, trees are close if they induce similar distributions on genetic sequence data.

Genome rearrangements and phylogeny reconstruction in Yersinia pestis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Genome rearrangements have played an important role in the evolution of Yersinia pestis from its progenitor Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Traditional phylogenetic trees for Y.

ü . On the Construction of a Phylogenetic Tree
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1979 Abstract Phylogenetic Dendrograms, Molecular Evolution For the construction of a phylogenetic tree an algorithm is described. This, allows the correction of the original data and the proper selection, in each step of the process, of the nearest neighbours of a common ancestor.

Systematic errors in phylogenetic trees [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 The effort to reconstruct the tree of life was revolutionized by the use of sequences of proteins and nucleic acids. Phylogenetic trees are now routinely inferred using hundreds of thousands of amino acid or nucleotide characters. It thus seems surprising that many aspects of the tree of life are still controversial; conflicting results between large ...

Sound Colless-like balance indices for multifurcating trees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The Colless index is one of the most popular and natural balance indices for bifurcating phylogenetic trees, but it makes no sense for multifurcating trees.

Representing non-crossing cuts by phylogenetic trees
Electronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications, 2021 Phylogenetic trees are representations of the evolutionary descendency of a set of species. In graph-theoretic terms, a phylogenetic tree is a partially labeled tree where unlabeled vertices have at least degree three and labels corresponds to pairwise ...

jsPhyloSVG: a javascript library for visualizing interactive and vector-based phylogenetic trees on the web. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Many software packages have been developed to address the need for generating phylogenetic trees intended for print. With an increased use of the web to disseminate scientific literature, there is a need for phylogenetic trees to be viewable across many ...

On Tree-Based Phylogenetic Networks [PDF]
Journal of Computational Biology, 2016 A large class of phylogenetic networks can be obtained from trees by the addition of horizontal edges between the tree edges. These networks are called tree based networks. Reticulation-visible networks and child-sibling networks are all tree based. In this work, we present a simply necessary and sufficient condition for tree-based networks and prove ...

Visualising very large phylogenetic trees in three dimensional hyperbolic space
BMC Bioinformatics, 2004 Background Common existing phylogenetic tree visualisation tools are not able to display readable trees with more than a few thousand nodes. These existing methodologies are based in two dimensional space.

BMC Bioinformatics, 2008 Background Due to recent progress in genome sequencing, more and more data for phylogenetic reconstruction based on rearrangement distances between genomes become available. However, this phylogenetic reconstruction is a very challenging task.
