A Class of Unrooted Phylogenetic Networks Inspired by the Properties of Rooted Tree-Child Networks
Leo van Iersel, Mark Jones, Simone Linz +1
A directed phylogenetic network is tree-child if every non-leaf vertex has a child that is not a reticulation. As a class of directed phylogenetic networks, tree-child networks are…
Level- networks from shortest and longest distances
Katharina T. Huber, Leo van Iersel, Remie Janssen +3
Recently it was shown that a certain class of phylogenetic networks, called level- networks, cannot be reconstructed from their associated distance matrices. In this paper, we s…
A Unifying Characterization of Tree-based Networks and Orchard Networks using Cherry Covers
Leo van Iersel, Remie Janssen, Mark Jones +2
Phylogenetic networks are used to study evolutionary relationships between species in biology. Such networks are often categorized into classes by their topological features, which…
Approximation algorithms for nonbinary agreement forests
Leo van Iersel, Steven Kelk, Nela Lekić +1
Given two rooted phylogenetic trees on the same set of taxa X, the Maximum Agreement Forest problem (MAF) asks to find a forest that is, in a certain sense, common to both trees an…
Prefix reversals on binary and ternary strings
Cor Hurkens, Leo van Iersel, Judith Keijsper +3
Given a permutation pi, the application of prefix reversal f^(i) to pi reverses the order of the first i elements of pi. The problem of Sorting By Prefix Reversals (also known as p…
