Learning Hybridization Networks Using Phylogenetic Invariants

Phylogenetic networks represent the evolutionary process of reticulate organisms by the explicit modeling of gene flow. While most existing network methods are not scalable to tackle big data, we introduce a novel method to reconstruct phylogenetic networks based on algebraic invariants without the heuristic search of network space. Our methodology is available in the Julia package phylo-diamond.jl, and it is at least 10 times faster than the fastest-to-date network methods.
