Exploring complex phylogenetic patterns
Certain types of evolutionary processes such as horizontal gene
transfer, recombination and hybridization are not best modelled using
bifurcating trees. In this talk we will discuss some methods for
exploring and visualizing patterns in molecular data that can arise
from such processes.
