Inference of Phylogenetic Trees from the Knowledge of Rare Evolutionary Events
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
Rare events have played an increasing role in molecular phylogenetics as potentially homoplasy-poor characters.In this contribution we analyze the phylogenetic information content from a combinatorial ...
We showthat the graph-representation of this relation must be a tree. Moreover, we characterize completely the relationshipbetween the tree of such relations and the underlying phylogenetic tree. ...
