Simultaneous separation in bounded degree trees
Sagi Snir, Raphael Yuster
It follows from a classical result of Jordan that every tree with maximum degree at most containing a vertex set labeled by , has a single-edge cut which separates two sub…
On the quartet distance given partial information
Sagi Snir, Osnat Weissberg, Raphael Yuster
Let be an arbitrary phylogenetic tree with leaves. It is well-known that the average quartet distance between two assignments of taxa to the leaves of is $\frac 23 \bin…
Multi-SpaM: a Maximum-Likelihood approach to Phylogeny reconstruction based on Multiple Spaced-Word Matches
Thomas Dencker, Chris-Andre Leimeister, Michael Gerth +3
Motivation: Word-based or `alignment-free' methods for phylogeny reconstruction are much faster than traditional approaches, but they are generally less accurate. Most of these met…
Recovering the tree-like trend of evolution despite extensive lateral genetic transfer: A probabilistic analysis
Sebastien Roch, Sagi Snir
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is a common mechanism of non-vertical evolution where genetic material is transferred between two more or less distantly related organisms. It is partic…
Universal pacemaker of genome evolution
Sagi Snir, Yuri I. Wolf, Eugene V. Koonin
Molecular clock (MC) is a central concept of molecular evolution according to which each gene evolves at a characteristic, near constant rate. Numerous evolutionary studies have de…
Maximum Likelihood Jukes-Cantor Triplets: Analytic Solutions
Benny Chor, Michael D. Hendy, Sagi Snir
Complex systems of polynomial equations have to be set up and solved algebraically in order to obtain analytic solutions for maximum likelihood on phylogenetic trees. This has rest…
