论文摘要
生根系统发育网络提供了一种描述物种关系的方法时，当进化与树的简单模型不同时。但是，从基因组数据推断的网络可能会高度纠结，因此很难辨别出存在的主要网状信号。在本文中，我们描述了一种自然的方式，将任何根源的系统发育网络转换为具有理想数学和计算属性的简单规范网络，并且仅基于原始网络中的“可见”节点。该方法已实施，我们证明了其在一些示例中的应用。
Rooted phylogenetic networks provide a way to describe species' relationships when evolution departs from the simple model of a tree. However, networks inferred from genomic data can be highly tangled, making it difficult to discern the main reticulation signals present. In this paper, we describe a natural way to transform any rooted phylogenetic network into a simpler canonical network, which has desirable mathematical and computational properties, and is based only on the 'visible' nodes in the original network. The method has been implemented and we demonstrate its application to some examples.
