Encoding level-3 semi-directed phylogenetic networks by quarnets and quinnets
Niels Holtgrefe, Katharina T. Huber, Leo van Iersel +1
Phylogenetic networks generalize phylogenetic trees as models of evolutionary history, allowing lineages to merge as well as to diverge. For many types of genetic data the root pos…
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…
Distinguishing Phylogenetic Level-2 Networks with Quartets and Inter-Taxon Quartet Distances
Niels Holtgrefe, Elizabeth S. Allman, Hector Baños +4
The inference of phylogenetic networks, which model complex evolutionary processes including hybridization and gene flow, remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. Until…
When are quarnets sufficient to reconstruct semi-directed phylogenetic networks?
Katharina T. Huber, Leo van Iersel, Mark Jones +2
Phylogenetic networks are graphs that are used to represent evolutionary relationships between different taxa. They generalize phylogenetic trees since for example, unlike trees, t…
Path Partitions of Phylogenetic Networks
Manuel Lafond, Vincent Moulton
In phylogenetics, evolution is traditionally represented in a tree-like manner. However, phylogenetic networks can be more appropriate for representing evolutionary events such as…
