Phylogeny reconstruction is a key instrument in numerous biological analyses, ranging from
evolutionary and ecology research, to conservation and systems biology. The increasing …

Phylogenies with extensive taxon sampling have become indispensable for many types of
ecological and evolutionary studies. Many large‐scale trees are based on a …

Background Supertree methods comprise one approach to reconstructing large molecular
phylogenies given multi-marker datasets: trees are estimated on each marker and then …

Reconstructing the tree of life will require fast methods for building very large phylogenetic
trees from patchy data. The leading candidates for such an approach employ supertree …

Phylogenetics is the field of evolutionary biology that studies the evolutionary relationships
between species through morphological and molecular data. These relationships can be …

Current practices for assembling phylogenetic trees often recur to sequence data stored in
GenBank. However, the molecular and taxonomic make‐up of sequences deposited in …

Abstract The Environment for Tree Exploration (ETE) is a computational framework that
simplifies the reconstruction, analysis, and visualization of phylogenetic trees and multiple …

Phylogenomic studies aim to build phylogenies from large sets of homologous genes. Such
“genome-sized” data require fast methods, because of the typically large numbers of taxa …

Background The availability of sequences from whole genomes to reconstruct the tree of life
has the potential to enable the development of phylogenomic hypotheses in ways that have …

Supertree methods construct trees on a set of taxa (species) combining many smaller trees
on the overlapping subsets of the entire set of taxa. A 'quartet'is an unrooted tree over taxa …
