The standard lateral gene transfer model is statistically consistent for pectinate four-taxon trees
Andreas Sand, Mike Steel
Evolutionary events such as incomplete lineage sorting and lateral gene transfer constitute major problems for inferring species trees from gene trees, as they can sometimes lead t…
