A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny, is a diagram that depicts the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, or genes from a common ancestor.

Methods for and applications of phylogenetic tree inference have proliferated in studies of cancer genomics. Tumour phylogeny methods have become important tools for making sense of the complexity ...

A principal objective for phylogenetic experimental design is to predict the power of a data set to resolve nodes in a phylogenetic tree. However, proactively assessing the potential for phylogenetic ...
