Phylogenetic inference aims to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships of different species based on genetic (or other) data. Discrete characters are a particular type of data, which contain information on how the species should be grouped togethe...

A tree-child network is a phylogenetic network with the property that each non-leaf vertex is the parent of a tree vertex or a leaf. In this paper, we show that a tree-child network on taxa (leaf) set X with an outgroup and a positive real-valued wei... Read More about Constructing Tree-Child Networks from Distance Matrices.

Lost in space? Generalising subtree prune and regraft to spaces of phylogenetic networks (2017)
Journal Article

Over the last fifteen years, phylogenetic networks have become a popular tool to analyse relationships between species whose past includes reticulation events such as hybridisation or horizontal gene transfer. However, the space of phylogenetic netwo... Read More about Lost in space? Generalising subtree prune and regraft to spaces of phylogenetic networks.
