Recovering tree-child networks from shortest inter-taxa distance information
Magnus Bordewich, Katharina T Huber, Vincent Moulton +1
Phylogenetic networks are a type of leaf-labelled, acyclic, directed graph used by biologists to represent the evolutionary history of species whose past includes reticulation even…
Quarnet inference rules for level-1 networks
Katharine T. Huber, Vincent Moulton, Charles Semple +1
An important problem in phylogenetics is the construction of phylogenetic trees. One way to approach this problem, known as the supertree method, involves inferring a phylogenetic…
A universal tree-based network with the minimum number of reticulations
Magnus Bordewich, Charles Semple
A tree-based network on is universal if every rooted binary phylogenetic -tree is a base tree for . Hayamizu and, independently, Zhang constructivel…
A splitter theorem for 3-connected 2-polymatroids
James Oxley, Charles Semple, Geoff Whittle
Seymour's Splitter Theorem is a basic inductive tool for dealing with -connected matroids. This paper proves a generalization of that theorem for the class of -polymatroids.…
Quantifying the Extent of Lateral Gene Transfer Required to Avert a `Genome of Eden'
Leo van Iersel, Charles Semple, Mike Steel
The complex pattern of presence and absence of many genes across different species provides tantalising clues as to how genes evolved through the processes of gene genesis, gene lo…
