AbstractThis project develops combinatorial mathematics for new biological concepts that have emerged from genomic studies of phylogenetic trees and networks. Phylogenetics—the interpretation and construction of trees and networks that describe relationships of shared descent from common ancestors—is central throughout the entire field of biology, contributing to biological subfields in areas as varied as developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, microbiology, and the biology of cancer.
