A representation-theoretic approach to the calculation of evolutionary distance in bacteria
Jeremy G Sumner, Peter D Jarvis, Andrew R Francis
In the context of bacteria and models of their evolution under genome rearrangement, we explore a novel application of group representation theory to the inference of evolutionary…
Developing a statistically powerful measure for quartet tree inference using phylogenetic identities and Markov invariants
Jeremy G Sumner, Amelia Taylor, Barbara R Holland +1
Recently there has been renewed interest in phylogenetic inference methods based on phylogenetic invariants, alongside the related Markov invariants. Broadly speaking, both these a…
Plethystic Vertex Operators and Boson-Fermion Correspondences
Bertfried Fauser, Peter D Jarvis, Ronald C King
We study the algebraic properties of plethystic vertex operators, introduced in J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43 405202 (2010), underlying the structure of symmetric functions associate…
Maximum likelihood estimates of pairwise rearrangement distances
Stuart Serdoz, Attila Egri-Nagy, Jeremy Sumner +4
Accurate estimation of evolutionary distances between taxa is important for many phylogenetic reconstruction methods. In the case of bacteria, distances can be estimated using a ra…
