Motivation In recent years, molecular species delimitation has become a routine approach for
quantifying and classifying biodiversity. Barcoding methods are of particular importance in …

Numerous studies covering some aspects of SARS-CoV-2 data analyses are being published
on a daily basis, including a regularly updated phylogeny on nextstrain.org. Here, we …

Species tree inference from gene family trees is becoming increasingly popular because it
can account for discordance between the species tree and the corresponding gene family …

Incongruence, or topological conflict, is prevalent in genome-scale data sets. Internode
certainty (IC) and related measures were recently introduced to explicitly quantify the level of …

Motivation Phylogenetic networks can represent non-treelike evolutionary scenarios. Current,
actively developed approaches for phylogenetic network inference jointly account for non-…

Motivation Recently, Lemoine et al. suggested the transfer bootstrap expectation (TBE)
branch support metric as an alternative to classical phylogenetic bootstrap support for taxon-rich …

A wide range of data types can be used to delimit species and various computer‐based
tools dedicated to this task are now available. Although these formalized approaches have …

Incongruence, or topological conflict, is prevalent in genome-scale data sets but relatively
few measures have been developed to quantify it. Internode Certainty (IC) and related …

Microbial ecology research is currently driven by the continuously decreasing cost of DNA
sequencing and the improving accuracy of data analysis methods. One such analysis method …

We explore the benefits of parallelizing 7 state-of-the-art string matching algorithms. Using
SIMD and multi-threading techniques we achieve a significant performance improvement of …
