Statistical inference of the Tree of Blobs of a phylogenetic network from quartet concordance factors

This paper introduces ECToBlob, an algorithm to estimate the tree of blobs from quartet concordance factors, providing a statistically consistent method for inferring phylogenetic networks.

NANUQ+: A divide-and-conquer approach to network estimation

NANUQ+ improves network inference by resolving multifurcations in Tree of Blobs structures, enabling more detailed network analysis.

TINNiK: Inference of the Tree of Blobs of a Species Network Under the Coalescent

TINNiK infers the tree of blobs from a species network under the coalescent model using gene quartet distributions, applied to simulated and empirical data.
