Theme and scope
Phylogenetic analysis is one of the most active areas in evolutionary biology.
Traditionally phylogenetic relationships are reconstructed from individual
genes and represented by trees, based on rather simple models. More
recently methods for reconstructing phylogenetic networks rather than
trees are being studied. One goal is to adequately represent recombination
and hybridization events.
A new challenge is to develop and utilize new phylogenetic methods
that are based on whole genome comparison. Another challenge is to apply
phylogenetic methods to analyse the evolutionary history of
individual genomes and to understand the development of the earliest proteins.
The aim of the workshop is to discuss the latest developments in
these areas. It will bring together mathematicians, computer scientists and
biologists who are interested in the integration of the theoretical, algorithmic
and applied problems presented.
Keywords: Trees, Networks, Recombination and Hybridization,
Genome-based Phylogenies, Protein Evolution, Comparative Genomics.
