Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Phylogenetic trees are standard for inferring evolutionary history.
  • Existing methods struggle with complex evolutionary events like recombination.
  • Phylogenetic networks offer a more realistic model for complex evolutionary histories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational method for calculating sequence evolution likelihood on phylogenetic networks.
  • To generalize existing phylogenetic tree methods to networks.
  • To provide a framework for rooting phylogenetic networks.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing directed graphical models and Bayesian networks for sequence evolution on rooted phylogenetic networks (directed acyclic graphs).
  • Employing Markov chain Monte Carlo (Gibbs sampling) for efficient likelihood approximation in complex networks.
