On Tree-Network Distinguishability and Full Identifiability of Phylogenetic Networks

Jari Brits, Niels Holtgrefe, Leo van Iersel +1

The paper proves that the topology of level‑1 phylogenetic networks can be uniquely recovered from leaf‑pattern distributions under common nucleotide substitution models, and that…

Tractable Maximization of Budgeted Phylogenetic Diversity on Networks Utilizing Node Scanwidth

Niels Holtgrefe, Jannik Schestag

Identifying a subset of taxa that maximizes Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) is a cornerstone of quantitative conservation planning. Traditionally, PD is defined over a phylogenetic tre…

Bounds on the sequence length sufficient to reconstruct binary level- phylogenetic networks under the CFN model

Martin Frohn, Niels Holtgrefe, Leo van Iersel +2

Phylogenetic trees and networks are graphs used to model evolutionary relationships, with trees representing strictly branching histories and networks allowing for events in which…

Exact and Heuristic Computation of the Scanwidth of Directed Acyclic Graphs

Niels Holtgrefe, Leo van Iersel, Mark Jones

To measure the tree-likeness of a directed acyclic graph (DAG), a new width parameter that considers the directions of the arcs was recently introduced: scanwidth. We present the f…

Limits of Kernelization and Parametrization for Phylogenetic Diversity with Dependencies

Niels Holtgrefe, Jannik Schestag, Norbert Zeh

In the Maximize Phylogenetic Diversity problem, we are given a phylogenetic tree that represents the genetic proximity of species, and we are asked to select a subset of species of…

Characterizing semi-directed phylogenetic networks and their multi-rootable variants

Niels Holtgrefe, Katharina T. Huber, Leo van Iersel +2

In evolutionary biology, phylogenetic networks are graphs that provide a flexible framework for representing complex evolutionary histories that involve reticulate evolutionary eve…
