A basic limitation on inferring phylogenies by pairwise sequence comparisons
Mike Steel
Distance-based approaches in phylogenetics such as Neighbor-Joining are a fast and popular approach for building trees. These methods take pairs of sequences from them construct a…
Revisiting an equivalence between maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods in phylogenetics
Mareike Fischer, Bhalchandra D. Thatte
Tuffley and Steel (1997) proved that Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony methods in phylogenetics are equivalent for sequences of characters under a simple symmetric model of…
Sequence length bounds for resolving a deep phylogenetic divergence
Mareike Fischer, Mike Steel
In evolutionary biology, genetic sequences carry with them a trace of the underlying tree that describes their evolution from a common ancestral sequence. The question of how many…
Markovian log-supermodularity, and its applications in phylogenetics
Mike Steel, Beata Faller
We establish a log-supermodularity property for probability distributions on binary patterns observed at the tips of a tree that are generated under any 2--state Markov process. We…
