    Minimizing recombinations in consensus networks for phylogeographic studies

    We address the problem of studying recombinational variations in (human) populations. In this paper, our focus is on one computational aspect of the general task: Given two networks G1 and G2, with both mutation ...

    A minimal descriptor of an ancestral recombinations graph

    Ancestral Recombinations Graph (ARG) is a phylogenetic structure that encodes both duplication events, such as mutations, as well as genetic exchange events, such as recombinations: this captures the (genetic)...
