Phylogenetic Trees

Phylogenetic Trees

Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.

Survival Tree

Survival Tree

Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Microbial Phylogeny

Microbial Phylogeny

Understanding the evolutionary relationships among microorganisms is fundamental to microbial ecology and taxonomy. Phylogenetic trees are essential tools for inferring these relationships, relying primarily on comparative analyses of molecular sequences such as DNA, RNA, or proteins. In microbial studies, these trees typically depict the evolutionary paths of diverse bacterial and archaeal species by mapping genetic differences accumulated over time.Phylogenetic trees are composed of tips,...

Methods of Obtaining Topography

Methods of Obtaining Topography

Topography involves measuring and mapping land elevations, natural features, and artificial structures to create accurate representations of the terrain. Topographic surveying relies on traditional and modern methods, each with distinct advantages and limitations.Traditional Surveying Methods:Transit stadia surveys and plane table surveys were widely used traditional surveying methods. These techniques relied on instruments like theodolites and stadia rods for measuring distances and angles,...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Background:

Tree-like structures are prevalent in nature, necessitating methods for topological reconstruction from 2D projections.
Reconstructing tree topology from projected planar graphs is an ill-posed inverse problem due to crossing branches.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust method for reconstructing the 3D topology of trees from single 2D images.
To regularize the ill-posed problem of tree topology reconstruction using a generative, parametric tree-growth model.

Main Methods:

A generative, parametric tree-growth model was employed to regularize the reconstruction problem.
A heuristic search algorithm was developed to estimate the most likely 3D tree topology when edge directions are unknown.
The method was tested on datasets including retinal vessels, plant roots, and synthetic trees.

Main Results:

Reconstruction is feasible in linear time if edge directions are known.
The heuristic search algorithm provides an efficient solution for the NP-hard case where directions are unknown.
Experimental results demonstrate high accuracy and efficiency across diverse datasets.

Conclusions:

The proposed methodology effectively reconstructs 3D tree topology from 2D images, even with complex projections.
The generative model and heuristic search offer a powerful approach for analyzing biological and synthetic tree structures.
