Treewidth distance on phylogenetic trees
In this article we study the treewidth of the display graph, an auxiliary graph structure obtained from the fusion of phylogenetic (i.e., evolutionary) trees at their leaves. Earlier work has shown that the treewidth of the display graph is bounded if the trees are in some formal sense topologically similar. Here we further expand upon this relationship. We analyse a number of reduction rules w...
متن کاملThe transposition distance for phylogenetic trees
The search for similarity and dissimilarity measures on phylogenetic trees has been motivated by the computation of consensus trees, the search by similarity in phylogenetic databases, and the assessment of clustering results in bioinformatics. The transposition distance for fully resolved phylogenetic trees is a recent addition to the extensive collection of available metrics for comparing phy...
متن کاملOn the Maximum Parsimony distance between phylogenetic trees
Within the field of phylogenetics there is great interest in distance measures to quantify the dissimilarity of two trees. Here, based on an idea of Bruen and Bryant, we propose and analyze a new distance measure: the Maximum Parsimony (MP) distance. This is based on the difference of the parsimony scores of a single character on both trees under consideration, and the goal is to find the chara...
متن کاملOn the maximum quartet distance between phylogenetic trees
A conjecture of Bandelt and Dress states that the maximum quartet distance between any two phylogenetic trees on n leaves is at most ( 23 + o(1)) ( n 4 ) . Using the machinery of flag algebras we improve the currently known bounds regarding this conjecture, in particular we show that the maximum is at most (0.69 + o(1)) ( n 4 ) . We also give further evidence that the conjecture is true by prov...
متن کاملReduction rules for the maximum parsimony distance on phylogenetic trees
In phylogenetics, distances are often used to measure the incongruence between a pair of phylogenetic trees that are reconstructed by different methods or using different regions of genome. Motivated by the maximum parsimony principle in tree inference, we recently introduced the maximum parsimony (MP) distance, which enjoys various attractive properties due to its connection with several other...
