The impact of reticulate evolution on genome phylogeny.

Abstract excerpt

Genome phylogenies are used to build tree-like representations of evolutionary relationships among genomes. However, in condensing the phylogenetic signals within a set of genomes down to a single tree, these methods generally do not explicitly take into account discordant signals arising due to lateral genetic transfer. Because conflicting vertical and horizontal signals can produce compromise trees that do not...
