2. Motivations
Phylogenetic analyses often produce large sets of
competing trees
Summarize interesting evolutionary history:
Hybridization
Recombination
Horizontal Gene Transfer
Incomplete Lineage Sorting
Identify Systematic Error

3. Shortcomings of Current Approaches
Consensus tree
Discards information concerning competing trees
Dimensionality Reduction
May be difficult to interpret
June 21, 2016
4. Shortcomings of Current Approaches
Clustering
Based on pairwise tree to tree distance
Only consider nonnegative links

5. Our Approaches
Apply graph-based methods to understand relationship among:
Tree topologies Bipartitions within tree
topologies

8. Application
Yeast dataset with 5 species, 106 loci
106 gene trees were reconstructed using maximum
parsimony

9. Topology-based Network Analysis
Affinity matrix
Reciprocal of pairwise
distances
Detect communities
Discovered 11 communities
Consensus trees for each
community
Top 2 recovers the top 2
