Phylogenetic Supertrees

Matrix representation with parsimony (MRP) is a supertree approach for analyzing multiple hierarchical trees, and through them multiple data sets, within a unified phylogenetic inference. Unlike consensus methods, it is based on nodes (subtrees) and not on full trees. This makes it possible to draw data sets with different but overlapping phyletic coverage into a common analysis. Our original method has provided a platform for subsequent modifications with respect to coding, weighting, transformations, and resolution of ambiguities and conflicts. Further extensions can be envisioned to improve not only performance in unified phylogenetic inference from large (e.g., genomic) and/or heterogeneous data sets, but also in the quantitative comparison of trees and subtrees.
