Constructing phylogenetic trees efficiently using compatibility criteria
نویسنده
چکیده
The Character Compatibility Problem is a classical problem in computational biology concerned with constructing phylogenetic trees of minimum possible evolution from qualitative character sets. This problem arose in the 1970s, and until recently the only cases for which efficient algorithms were found were for binary (i.e. twostate) characters and for two characters at a time, while the complexity of the general problem remained open. In this paper we will discuss the remarkable progress on this problem since 1990.

Efficient FPT Algorithms for (Strict) Compatibility of Unrooted Phylogenetic Trees
In phylogenetics, a central problem is to infer the evolutionary relationships between a set of species X; these relationships are often depicted via a phylogenetic tree-a tree having its leaves labeled bijectively by elements of X and without degree-2 nodes-called the "species tree." One common approach for reconstructing a species tree consists in first constructing several phylogenetic trees...
متن کاملEfficiently Inferring Pairwise Subtree Prune-and-Regraft Adjacencies between Phylogenetic Trees
We develop a time-optimal O(mn)-time algorithm for the problem of constructing the subtree prune-regraft (SPR) graph on a collection of m phylogenetic trees with n leaves. This improves on the previous bound of O(mn). Such graphs are used to better understand the behaviour of phylogenetic methods and recommend parameter choices and diagnostic criteria. The limiting factor in these analyses has ...
متن کاملGene Tree Construction and Correction using SuperTree and Reconciliation
The supertree problem asking for a tree displaying a set of consistent input trees has been largely considered for the reconstruction of species trees. Here, we explore this framework for the sake of reconstructing a gene tree from a set of input gene trees on partial data. The phylogenetic tree for the species containing the genes of interest can be used to choose among the many possible compa...

متن کاملConstructing phylogenetic trees using interacting pathways
Phylogenetic trees are used to represent evolutionary relationships among biological species or organisms. The construction of phylogenetic trees is based on the similarities or differences of their physical or genetic features. Traditional approaches of constructing phylogenetic trees mainly focus on physical features. The recent advancement of high-throughput technologies has led to accumulat...
