Abstract
A contemporary and sometimes contentious problem in genome phylogeny is to reconcile the fact that an accurately reconstructed gene tree does not necessarily correspond to a species phylogeny. Thus, in practice, species phylogenies are commonly obtained by applying consensus tree/supertree methods to collections of gene trees. However, such methods can suppress true conflicts in gene trees arising from processes such as gene transfer and gene duplication/loss.
