New Efficient Algorithm for Modeling Partial and Complete Gene Transfer Scenarios

  • Conference paper
Data Science and Classification

Abstract

In this article we describe a new method allowing one to predict and visualize possible horizontal gene transfer events. It relies either on a metric or topological optimization to estimate the probability of a horizontal gene transfer between any pair of edges in a species phylogeny. Species classification will be examined in the framework of the complete and partial gene transfer models.
