Novel Mathematical Aspects of Phylogenetic Estimation

In evolutionary biology, genetic sequences carry with them a trace of the underlying tree that describes their evolution from a common ancestral sequence. Inferring this underlying tree is challenging. We investigate some curious cases in which different methods like Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likel...
