Neighbor joining with phylogenetic diversity estimates
Dan Levy, Ruriko Yoshida, Lior Pachter
The Neighbor-Joining algorithm is a recursive procedure for reconstructing trees that is based on a transformation of pairwise distances between leaves. We present a generalization…
Subtree power analysis finds optimal species for comparative genomics
Jon D. McAuliffe, Michael I. Jordan, Lior Pachter
Sequence comparison across multiple organisms aids in the detection of regions under selection. However, resource limitations require a prioritization of genomes to be sequenced. T…
Needed for completion of the human genome: hypothesis driven experiments and biologically realistic mathematical models
Roderic Guigo, Ewan Birney, Michael Brent +5
With the sponsorship of ``Fundacio La Caixa'' we met in Barcelona, November 21st and 22nd, to analyze the reasons why, after the completion of the human genome sequence, the identi…
MAVID: Constrained ancestral alignment of multiple sequences
Nicolas Bray, Lior Pachter
We describe a new global multiple alignment program capable of aligning a large number of genomic regions. Our progressive alignment approach incorporates the following ideas: maxi…
Reconstructing Trees from Subtree Weights
Lior Pachter, David E Speyer
The tree-metric theorem provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a dissimilarity matrix to be a tree metric, and has served as the foundation for numerous distance-based r…
