SIESTA: enhancing searches for optimal supertrees and species trees

Abstract Background Many supertree estimation and multi-locus species tree estimation methods compute trees by combining trees on subsets of the species set based on some NP-hard optimization criterion. A recent approach to computing large trees has been to constrain the search space by defining a s...
