Optimal algorithms for local vertex quartet cleaning.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Reconstructing evolutionary trees is an important problem in biology. A response to the computational intractability of most of the traditional criteria for inferring evolutionary trees has been a focus on new criteria, particularly quartet-based methods that seek to merge trees derived on subsets of four species from a given species-set into a tree for that entire set. Unfortunately, most of these...
