Critical Case Stochastic Phylogenetic Tree Model via the Laplace Transform
PublikacjaBirth–and–death models are now a common mathematical tool to describe branching patterns observed in real–world phylogenetic trees. Liggett and Schinazi (2009) is one such example. The authors propose a simple birth–and–death model that is compatible with phylogenetic trees of both influenza and HIV, depending on the birth rate parameter. An interesting special case of this model is the critical case where the birth rate equals the...

Properties of the triset metric for phylogenetic trees
Publikacjathe following paper presents a new polynomial time metric for unrootedphylogenetic trees (based on weighted bipartite graphs and the method ofdetermining a minimum perfect matching) and its properties. also many its properties are presented.

Construction of phylogenetic trees with topological constraints
PublikacjaThis paper proposes a method of reconstruction of phylogenetic trees based on heuristic search with topological constraints. Using topological constraints it is possible to reduce the set of solutions as well as to enforce that the result is consistent with a given hypothesis about the evolution process within some group of species. Along with this work a number of algorithms used for phylogenetic analysis were implemented. Those...

Analyzing sets of phylogenetic trees using metrics
PublikacjaThe reconstruction of evolutionary trees is one of the primary objectives in phylogenetics. Such a tree represents historical evolutionary relationships between different species or organisms. Tree comparisons are used for multiple purposes, from unveiling the history of species to deciphering evolutionary associations among organisms and geographical areas. In this paper, we describe a general method for comparing phylogenetictrees...

On a matching distance between rooted phylogenetic trees
PublikacjaThe Robinson–Foulds (RF) distance is the most popular method of evaluating the dissimilarity between phylogenetic trees. In this paper, we define and explore in detail properties of the Matching Cluster (MC) distance, which can be regarded as a refinement of the RF metric for rooted trees. Similarly to RF, MC operates on clusters of compared trees, but the distance evaluation is more complex. Using the graph theoretic approach...

Polynomial triset metric for unrooted phylogenetic trees
Publikacjathe following paper presents a polynomial triset metric for unrooted phylogenetic trees (based on weighted bipartite graphs and the method of determining a minimum edge cover) and its basic characteristics. also a list of further directions of research and examples of the wider use of this metric is presented.

Visual TreeCmp : Comprehensive Comparison of Phylogenetic Trees on the Web
Publikacja1. We present Visual TreeCmp—a package of applications for comparing phylogenetic tree sets. 2. Visual TreeCmp includes a graphical web interface allowing the visualization of compared trees and command line application extended by comparison methods recently proposed in the literature. 3. The phylogenetic tree similarity analysis in Visual TreeCmp can be performed using eighteen metrics, of which 11 are dedicated to rooted trees...

Matching Split Distance for Unrooted Binary Phylogenetic Trees
PublikacjaRekonstrukcja drzew ewolucji jest jednym z głównych celów w bioinformatyce. Drzewa filogenetyczne reprezentuje historię ewolucji i związki pokrewieństwa między różnymi gatunkami. W pracy proponujemy nową ogólną metodę określania odległości między nieukorzenionymi drzewami filogenetycznymi, szczególnie użyteczną dla dużych zbiorów gatunków. Następnie podajemy szczegółowe własności jednej metryki określonej przy użyciu tej metody...

Comparing phylogenetic trees using a minimum weight perfect matching
PublikacjaA phylogenetic tree represents historical evolutionary relationshipbetween different species or organisms. There are various methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.Applying those techniques usually results in different treesfor the same input data. An important problem is to determinehow distant two trees reconstructed in such a wayare from each other. Comparing phylogenetic trees is alsouseful in mining phylogenetic information...

Comparing Arbitrary Unrooted Phylogenetic Trees Using Generalized Matching Split Distance
PublikacjaIn the paper, we describe a method for comparing arbitrary, not necessary fully resolved, unrooted phylogenetic trees. Proposed method is based on finding a minimum weight matching in bipartite graphs and can be regarded as a generalization of well-known Robinson-Foulds distance. We present some properties and advantages of the new distance. We also investigate some properties of presented distance in a common biological problem...

Comparing Phylogenetic Trees by Matching Nodes Using the Transfer Distance Between Partitions
PublikacjaAbility to quantify dissimilarity of different phylogenetic trees describing the relationship between the same group of taxa is required in various types of phylogenetic studies. For example, such metrics are used to assess the quality of phylogeny construction methods, to define optimization criteria in supertree building algorithms, or to find horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events. Among the set of metrics described so far in...

Analyzing sets of phylogenetic trees obtained from bayesian MCMC process using topology metrics
PublikacjaThe reconstruction of evolutionary trees is one of the primary objectives in phylogenetics. Such a tree represents historical evolutionary relationship between different species or organisms. Tree comparisons are used for multiple purposes, from unveiling the history of species to deciphering evolutionary associations amongorganisms and geographical areas.In the paper, we describe a general method for comparing hylogenetic trees....

Phylogenetic trees of genus Oncidium Sw. based on analysis of DNA sequences
Dane BadawczeGenus Oncidium Sw. is widely regarded as a polyphiletic, and the taxonomic boundaries between him and such genera as Odontoglossum Kunth. or Miltonia Lindley remain blurred. The goal of the study was to determine the phylogenetic relationships within the genus Oncidium s.lato based on the DNA sequences analysis. The correlation between molecular data...

Generalization of Phylogenetic Matching Metrics with Experimental Tests of Practical Advantages
PublikacjaThe ability to quantify a dissimilarity of different phylogenetic trees is required in various types of phylogenetic studies, for example, such metrics are used to assess the quality of phylogeny construction methods and to define optimization criteria in supertree building algorithms. In this article, starting from the already described concept of matching metrics, we define three new metrics for rooted phylogenetic trees. One...

Intra-operative biopsy in chronic sinusitis detects pathogenic Escherichia coli that carry fimG/H, fyuA and agn43 genes coding biofilm formation
PublikacjaThe aim of this study was to investigate whether or not surgical biopsy of sinus tissue in chronic sinusitis, not responsive to treatment, would detect E. coli. We intended to evaluate E. coli virulence genes, therefore dispute the causal role of such an unusual microorganism in chronic sinusitis, as well as consider effective pathogen-targeted therapy. Patients with E. coli isolated by intra-operative puncture biopsy were included...
