Abstract excerpt
This chapter surveys the use of fixed-parameter algorithms in phylogenetics. A central computational problem in this field is the construction of a likely phylogeny (genealogical tree) for a set of species based on observed differences in the phenotype, differences in the genotype, or given partial phylogenies. Ideally, one would like to construct so-called perfect phylogenies, which arise from an elementary...
