Abstract

One of the classic problems in computational biology is the reconstruction of evolutionary histories. A recent trend is toward increasing the explanatory power of the models by incorporating higher-order evolutionary events that more accurately reflect the full range of mutation at the molecular level. In this paper, we take a step in this direction by considering the problem of reconstructing an evolutionary history for a set of genetic sequences that have evolved by recombination. Recombination produces a new sequence by crossing two parent sequences, and is among the most important mechanisms of higher-order molecular mutation.
