Open AccessA perl package and an alignment tool for phylogenetic networks
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that allow for the representation of evolutionary events acting at the population level, like recombination between genes, hybridization between...

Open AccessExtended Newick: it is time for a standard representation of phylogenetic networks
Phylogenetic trees resulting from molecular phylogenetic analysis are available in Newick format from specialized databases but when it comes to phylogenetic networks, which provide an explicit representation ...

Two Results on Distances for Phylogenetic Networks
We establish two new results on distances for phylogenetic networks. First, that Nakhleh’s metric for reduced networks [15] is a metric on the class of semibinary tree-sibling networks, being thus the only non...

Open AccessCophenetic metrics for phylogenetic trees, after Sokal and Rohlf
Phylogenetic tree comparison metrics are an important tool in the study of evolution, and hence the definition of such metrics is an interesting problem in phylogenetics. In a paper in Taxon fifty years ago, S...

Open AccessA reconstruction problem for a class of phylogenetic networks with lateral gene transfers
Lateral, or Horizontal, Gene Transfers are a type of asymmetric evolutionary events where genetic material is transferred from one species to another. In this paper we consider LGT networks, a general model of p...
