摘要: The gene-duplication problem is to infer a species supertree from gene trees that are confounded by complex histories of duplications. This NP-hard and thus requires efficient effective heuristics. Existing heuristics perform stepwise search the tree space, where each step guided an exact solution instance local problem. We improve on time complexity factor n2/ log n, n size resulting supertree. Typically, several thousand instances solved throughout heuristic search. Hence, our improvement makes much more tractable for large-scale phylogenetic analyses.
