A branching process with coalescence to model random phylogenetic networks

Archive ouverte

Edité par CCSD ; Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) -

International audience. We introduce a biologically natural, mathematically tractable model of random phylogenetic network to describe evolution in the presence of hybridization. One of the features of this model is that the hybridization rate of the lineages correlates negatively with their phylogenetic distance. We give formulas / characterizations for quantities of biological interest that make them straightforward to compute in practice. We show that the appropriately rescaled network, seen as a metric space, converges to the Brownian continuum random tree, and that the uniformly rooted network has a local weak limit, which we describe explicitly.

In recent years, there has been an effort to extend the classical notion ofphylogenetic balance, originally defined in the context of trees, to networks.One of the most natural ways to do this is with the so-called $B_2$index. In ...
