Assembling the Tree of Life in Light of Conflicting Signals
Offered By: Computational Genomics Summer Institute CGSI via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the challenges and methodologies of assembling the Tree of Life in a 43-minute conference talk from the Computational Genomics Summer Institute (CGSI) 2024. Delve into the complexities of phylogenetic reconstruction when faced with conflicting signals, as presented by Sagi Snir. Examine innovative approaches to quartet-based phylogenetic analysis, including the reconstruction of approximate phylogenetic trees from quartet samples and weighted quartets phylogenetics. Investigate the Quartets MaxCut algorithm, a divide-and-conquer method for quartet-based tree assembly. Learn about supertree methods for rooted trees and their applications in resolving conflicting evolutionary signals. Gain insights into cutting-edge computational techniques that address the intricacies of assembling comprehensive evolutionary trees in the face of discordant data.
