We present a polynomial-time algorithm for finding an optimal set of taxa that maximizes the weighted sum of the phylogenetic diversity across two phylogenetic trees. This resolves one of the challenges proposed as part of the Phylogenetics Programme... Read More about Optimizing phylogenetic diversity across two trees.

Consistency of Topological Moves Based on the Balanced Minimum Evolution Principle of Phylogenetic Inference (2009)

Many phylogenetic algorithms search the space of possible trees using topological rearrangements and some optimality criterion. FastME is such an approach that uses the balanced minimum evolution (BME) principle, which computer studies have demonstra...
