Abstract:There are several tools available to infer phylogenetic trees, which depict the evolutionary relationships among biological entities such as viral and bacterial strains in infectious outbreaks or cancerous cells in tumor progression trees. These tools rely on several inference methods available to produce phylogenetic trees, with resulting trees not being unique. Thus, methods for comparing phylogenies that are capable of revealing where two phylogenetic trees agree or differ are required. An approach is then … Show more
