Impact of Data Error on Phylogenetic Network Inference from Gene Trees Under the Multispecies Network Coalescent

Mehrdad Tamiji, Nicolae Sapoval, Luay K. Nakhleh

This study examines how data errors affect phylogenetic network inference and shows that many methods are vulnerable to these errors, leading to unreliable results.
