In a previous post , Guido constructed trees for coronaviruses in the SARS group to search for evidence of recombination. He also constructe...

In phylogenetics there are two types of network: those where the network edges have a time direction, whether explicit or implied; and t...

Median networks have been designed to put within-species haplotypes into an explicit evolutionary framework. They are exclusively parsimony...

Over the years, a number of methods have been explored for constructing evolutionary networks, starting with parsimony criteria for optimiz...

I have struggled over the years to try to understand the relationship between trees and networks. In one sense, networks are generalization...

This is an issue that has long concerned me, and which I think causes a lot of confusion among biologists. A phylogenetic tree is usually ...

A little over a week ago I was at a workshop "Capturing phylogenetic algorithms for linguistics" at the Lorentz Centre in Leiden...

Continuing the recent blog theme of researchers analyzing potentially reticulate relationships without explicitly using networks ( Are netw...

I wrote recently about whether explicit network methods are currently used in practice to construct evolutionary networks ( Are networks ac...
