Untitled[edit]

This page is intended to help researchers and practitioners in phylogenetics to familiarize with one of the hardest topics in Computational Phylogenetics. Please help to improve this page, by introducing appropriately

1. Kidd and Sgaramella Zonta's Minimum Evolution Framework (Kidd, K.K., Sgaramella-Zonta, L.A., 1971. Phylogenetic analysis: Concepts and methods. American Journal of Human Genetics 23, 235–252).

2. Rzhetsky and Nei's Theoretical foundations of ME under the ordinary least-squares branch-length estimation model (Rzhetsky, A., Nei, M., 1993. Theoretical foundations of the mini- mum evolution method of phylogenetic inference. Molecular Biol- ogy and Evolution 10, 1073–1095)

3. Pauplin's Balanced Minimum Evolution (Pauplin, Y., 2000. Direct calculation of a tree length using a distance matrix. Journal of Molecular Evolution 51, 41–47).

4. Desper and Gascuel's theoretical foundation of BME (Desper, R., Gascuel, O., 2004. Theoretical foundations of the bal- anced minimum evolution method of phylogenetic inference and its relationship to the weighted least-squares tree fitting. Molecular Bi- ology and Evolution 21, 587–598)

5. Any other advanced in the field.

It is necessary also to connect this page to the one on the least-squares methods as well as on the Neighbor-Joining tree (which is a greedy heuristic for the BME).

Feel free to suggest further lines of improvements.

COI[edit]

This was written entirely by a single user who writes in this field. There is WAY too much self-citing in this article. If you wouldn't do it in a review paper you submit to a journal, don't do it on wikipedia. Thanks. Mvolz (talk) 10:14, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the method? It's not described in the article. Only meta-claims are given. 2001:171B:2274:2491:9847:3879:76DE:410E (talk) 09:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
