Inferring phylogenies from minimal information

In this paper we present TripNet, a method for constructing phylogenetic networks from triplets. We will present the motivations behind our approach and its theoretical and empirical justification. To demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of TripNet, we performed two simulations and also applied the method to some published data. Surprisingly, the results show that we can construct an accurate phylogenetic network using a small amount of information.
