Quartet consistency count method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees
Among the distance based algorithms in phylogenetic tree reconstruction, the neighbor-joining algorithm has been a widely used and effective method. We propose a new algorithm which counts the number of consistent quartets for cherry picking with tie breaking. We show that the success rate of the new algorithm is almost equal to that of neighbor-joining. This gives an explanation of the qualita...
متن کاملMDL Method: an Inductive Inference Method for Reconstructing Phylogenetic Trees
Though various computational methods have been proposed to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree from the nucleotide sequence di erences so far, there are no decisive reconstruction methods yet so that a new method is expected. The expected method is supposed to be based on the probabilistic model of the base substitution process along the tree, and besides, to incorporate some evaluation of the tr...
متن کاملA Steiner Tree, Substitution Matrix Method for Reconstructing Phylogenetic Trees
Evolutionary theory implies that existing or extinct organisms are descended from a common ancestor. Hence, given a set of organisms, a phylogenetic tree can be reconstructed showing the evolutionary relationships between the biological organisms in the set. A commonly used method for the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees is the Distance Matrix (DM) method, which tends to be faster than the ...
متن کاملTesting for Polytomies in Phylogenetic Species Trees Using Quartet Frequencies
Phylogenetic species trees typically represent the speciation history as a bifurcating tree. Speciation events that simultaneously create more than two descendants, thereby creating polytomies in the phylogeny, are possible. Moreover, the inability to resolve relationships is often shown as a (soft) polytomy. Both types of polytomies have been traditionally studied in the context of gene tree r...
متن کاملQuartet-net: a quartet-based method to reconstruct phylogenetic networks.
Phylogenetic networks can model reticulate evolutionary events such as hybridization, recombination, and horizontal gene transfer. However, reconstructing such networks is not trivial. Popular character-based methods are computationally inefficient, whereas distance-based methods cannot guarantee reconstruction accuracy because pairwise genetic distances only reflect partial information about a...
