Large-scale methods for multiple sequence alignment and phylogeny estimation
… include multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and phylogeny estimation, which are both core challenges in computational biology. Their established mathematical formulations are usually difficult NP-hard problems that are attacked with careful and laborious heuristics. Consequently, the most …

Algorithms for phylogenetic tree correction in species and cancer evolution
… correspond to ancestral species. This type of phylogeny is colloquially thought of as the “Tree of Life” and assembling it has been designated as a Grand Challenge by the National Science Foundation Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure. However, processes other than speciation are also …

Phylogenetics of North American Psoraleeae (Leguminosae): Rates and Dates in a Recent, Rapid Radiation
… North American (NAm) members. First, theory of phylogeny estimation is explored in a review chapter focusing on strengths and weaknesses of phylogenetic methodology. Second, methods are applied to estimating evolutionary relationships within Psoraleeae based on six chloroplast (trnD/T, trnL/F, …

Taxonomy, phylogeny and resource use of Glyptapanteles (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Microgastrinae), genus highly diversified in the Neotropics
… species. In Chapter 2, the first Glyptapanteles phylogeny based on morphological and molecular data from fragments of four genes is presented. The genes include mitochondrial COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) and three nuclear genes: Alpha-spectrin; long-wavelength opsin (LW Rh) and wg …

Systematics of the Relhaniinae (Asteraceae-Gnaphalieae) in southern Africa : geography and evolution in an endemic Cape plant lineage
… history using parsimony and Bayesian tools for phylogeny estimation. The subtribe is found to be nonmonophyletic, and three independent Cape-centred clades are identified. These constitute the earliest-diverging lineages in the Gnaphalieae. Ancestral areas are reconstructed onto the tree using …
