On Two Graph-Theoretic Characterizations of Tree Compatibility
Sudheer Vakati, David Fernández-Baca
Deciding whether a collection of unrooted trees is compatible is a fundamental problem in phylogenetics. Two different graph-theoretic characterizations of tree compatibility have…
Inferring Species Trees from Incongruent Multi-Copy Gene Trees Using the Robinson-Foulds Distance
Ruchi Chaudhary, J. Gordon Burleigh, David Fernández-Baca
We present a new method for inferring species trees from multi-copy gene trees. Our method is based on a generalization of the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance to multi-labeled trees…
Extracting Conflict-free Information from Multi-labeled Trees
Akshay Deepak, David Fernández-Baca, Michelle M. McMahon
A multi-labeled tree, or MUL-tree, is a phylogenetic tree where two or more leaves share a label, e.g., a species name. A MUL-tree can imply multiple conflicting phylogenetic relat…
Improved Lower Bounds on the Compatibility of Multi-State Characters
Brad Shutters, Sudheer Vakati, David Fernández-Baca
We study a long standing conjecture on the necessary and sufficient conditions for the compatibility of multi-state characters: There exists a function such that, for any se…
