Statistical Phylogenetic Tree Analysis Using Differences of Means
Elissaveta Arnaoudova, David Haws, Peter Huggins +4
We propose a statistical method to test whether two phylogenetic trees with given alignments are significantly incongruent. Our method compares the two distributions of phylogeneti…
Bayes estimators for phylogenetic reconstruction
Peter Huggins, Wenbin Li, David Haws +3
Tree reconstruction methods are often judged by their accuracy, measured by how close they get to the true tree. Yet most reconstruction methods like ML do not explicitly maximize…
Parametric k-best alignment
Peter Huggins, Ruriko Yoshida
Optimal sequence alignments depend heavily on alignment scoring parameters. Given input sequences, {\em parametric alignment} is the well-studied problem that asks for all possible…
First steps toward the geometry of cophylogeny
Peter Huggins, Megan Owen, Ruriko Yoshida
Here we introduce researchers in algebraic biology to the exciting new field of cophylogenetics. Cophylogenetics is the study of concomitantly evolving organisms (or genes), such a…
Towards the Human Genotope
Peter Huggins, Lior Pachter, Bernd Sturmfels
The human genotope is the convex hull of all allele frequency vectors that can be obtained from the genotypes present in the human population. In this paper we take a few initial s…
