Fixed-Parameter Algorithms in Phylogenetics
[chapter]
2008
Msphere
We survey the use of fixed-parameter algorithms in the field of phylogenetics, which is the study of evolutionary relationships. The central problem in phylogenetics is the reconstruction of the evolutionary history of biological species, but its methods also apply to linguistics, philology, or architecture. A basic computational problem is the reconstruction of a likely phylogeny (genealogical tree) for a set of species based on observed differences in the phenotype like color or form of
