A metric for phylogenetic trees based on matching
Comparing two or more phylogenetic trees is a fundamental task in computational biology.
The simplest outcome of such a comparison is a pairwise measure of similarity, dissimilarity …

Supertrees based on the subtree prune-and-regraft distance
Supertree methods reconcile a set of phylogenetic trees into a single structure that is often
interpreted as a branching history of species. A key challenge is combining conflicting …

On unrooted and root-uncertain variants of several well-known phylogenetic network problems
The hybridization number problem requires us to embed a set of binary rooted phylogenetic
trees into a binary rooted phylogenetic network such that the number of nodes with indegree …
